Re: 1/2 river spot
I didn't understand your intention to induce a river bluff because you never told us of that. Since you intended to get a bluff by checking the 4, then getting exactly what you wanted, I don't see the problem here. Call.

Re: 1/2 river spot
looks like a call to me,
He could have Ah with a 3 but after 2 checks he could be bluffing. Dont think the call is +EV but you have to call here or you get bluffed too much. |

Re: 1/2 river spot
I called and won. He was bluffing with AQJ4 no flush draw.
I guess I shouldnt have said in the OP that I checked the river, since I was trying to get feedback on whether to bet/fold or check/call on the river since those seemed like the two most viable lines to me. |

Re: 1/2 river spot
Betting doesn't seem great unless you have good understanding with the player and good dynamic where he will call you with AA here.

Re: 1/2 river spot
Yeah, I like the way you played this. I was originally going to say bet/fold, but that's when I thought you'd bet the flop. Given that you didn't, it's very unlikely that a decent two pair is out there that can call since nines up would have bet the flop and there aren't a lot of reasonable combinations for a worse tens up.
Also, the fact that your opponents checked the flop and called the turn makes it very likely that they picked up draws. With a "scare card" hitting that's still likely to miss your opponents, I think check/calling is the best you can do. With that said, I might fold to a bet from the BB since it's tougher to bluff with one unknown caller left to act, but you definitely want to call against the CO who's likely bluffing over 50% of the time. |

It may not leave us with the most comfortable decision, but it is clearly the most profitable way to play the hand. |

Re: 1/2 river spot
I would probably bet/fold river for ~1/2 pot but like the way you played the hand.

[/ QUOTE ] At 1-2 I find that most people (even some of the very good regulars) bluff so little and look you up so much that check-calling is rarely the best play. Also, betting in a spot where an unlikely draw came in can get you a lot of hero-calls b/c they think you're FOS. Not to mention that routinely betting this kind of hand makes you much harder to play on the river overall. |
