Unimproved Aces face river c/r

[toddxlogan]

Hi all-

Villain in this hand is about 30/10/2 over a small (50ish) hand sample.

My only note on him is that one hand he "slowplayed" KK by limping pf, check-minraising the (tiny) bet on the flop, check-calling the turn, and checking the river (I checked behind with a tptk-ish hand).

Standard?

I'm curious, do you always raise 5xBB PF from UTG?

Getting 4.5:1, really?
Couldn't he play KK/QQ like that?

Why not check river btw if we are not willing to call a small raise?

[hennnerz]

oh yeh, i missed size of the raise. yeah right odds to call, but I dont think you beat much that does this...

because players especially at uNL arent going to c/r bluff the river anywhere near the correct frequency to make bet/folding exploitable

I'd have checked behind if i had no intention of calling a reraise because 8$ into 17 isn't going to steal the pot away from someone with a better hand.

spewy river, though i call and expect to see a flush, not many other hands make sense unless he has the 5 ?
