NL50 - AQ river action

[mekkas]

Villain is 24-18 and we are both double stacked (me 90$ villain 89$) Comments on flop and turn would help, but the most important is the river action.

Stacks would help. Assuming 100 bbs you already have 32/50 in there his line really looks like top pair so I dont see anything wrong with getting the rest in here. I dont think the turn and river improved him unless he is a complete idiot.

In a vacuum, with these descriptions, I'm betting and extracting value. Have you C/R'ed him on such a dry flop before?

Assuming you have somewhere around a PSB left, I'm fine with getting it all in here. I can't see him checking the river with a hand that you beat here. Shove it all in and hope QK calls you.

Do we really think that a 24-18 calls our flop raise with KQ?

[billip62]

as played I'd go to valuetown on the river, but I would seriously consider checking behind on the turn for some pot control. I could be completely wrong here as I'm starting to worry I don't get enough value on my winning hands to make up for the coolers.

Am I correct in check checking the turn given the deep stacks?

this reeks of a typical set-spot.. "I can't see him checking the river with a hand that you beat"

just check behind

Just call the flop. The only hand that you beat that isn't gonna fold (either there or instafold to a second bet) is KQ or maayyybe QJ and QJ prolly folds to a second bet and KQ might fold on a 2nd or 3rd bet too.

Just call the flop and keep his range wide...give him a chance to double barrel and such. There are no draws on that flop and his range is so wide. Really no reason at all to raise.


As played I might check behind on turn due to my slip up in raising the flop.


As played on the river I bet like 38. His hand now really looks like a weaker Q. I think the shove of $60 might fold it out so I bet like $38ish trying to get a call from KQ/QJ or mayybe a really stubborn JJ.

Clearly he meant "with a hand that you don't beat".
