villain is tough regular. can be spewy and overly stationy at times tho. definitely think he has river checkraises in his arsenal. river is still a bet tho right?

tricky spot. i would check it down, only hands that u could get value from are AQ and AT and AT probably wouldnt c/r flop. only reason to bet for me would be to induce a shove from his most likely hand - a missed draw but the villian has to be agressive enough to make this profitable.
if u feel like gambling bet 900 and call a shove, this would be a high risk/high reward play.

i would not bet unless i was calling a check raise.

ok don't flip out, im' leaving your thread.

i agree with chaoslord, i think a lot of value from your AK bet is from calling a shove from his spazz river CR bluffs.

whether or not u feel that constitutes u betting is ur read on the situation, which is obv better than ours.

[luegofuego]

well i dont think im good &gt;50% if he does checkraise so i guess the check behind was good. he had AQ fwiw and would probably have paid off.

[jfish]

i check, getting into absurdly thin vbets (that beat exactly 1 hand, though a likely one) here vs good players seems bad

ehhh, if opponent is thinking then this is a pretty obvious line these days and he will just fold.

i like betting big the more i think about this one (you can easily fold to a shove here unless you're playing someone crazy like genius). for one, most opponents just bet again most of the time with better hands (sometimes they will go for a c/r but it's not that often, people just aren't that creative generally speaking). second, it's good for balance since you'll probably find yourself in this spot with hands like AJ and missed draws somewhat often and you'd never bet 600 with a missed draw. thirdly, if he had some sort of draw he could have picked up a pair and make a big call, whereas he would usually just fold that pair to $600.

btw, the above is IF i decide to bet, which i probably do most of the time because i like to bet
