Yuck. He has a 6 here like never and played it exactly like a flush draw or 2-pair. Stacks get awkward if you make any meaningful bet and he comes over the top. What hands does vill look you up with here? Will he call $37 with 99 or A4? Is he capable of a river CRAI with air?

I think I just check.

[Imrahil]

I'd check.

[the machine]

easy check behind imo. what worse hands calls you here. an overpair hates his hand now

[FGators]

Why couldn't he have a 6 and feels that leading might be put him in a sucky spot because he isn't sure if hero has 86 or just a lone 6? Some people, especially bad NL 100 players think that way and play the one card straight weakly.

I'm betting $70 and expecting a LAG to call with a hand we are in front of.

[the machine]

he only calls with 1 hand we are ahead of. a 6. we have one of them. he may wind up calling with some overpair but i doubt it given the board texture. he beats nothing but a bluff. i dont see what we gain from a bet besides when he has a 6 ( about 3% of his range). aand we lose 70 or more when he calls or shoves and we are behind

[Scott Y.]

Eh, it's sorta deep here against an aggressive player...not sure you can rely on any value from a bet. How could you be bluffing here?

I would consider betting stronger on the turn, given the stack sizes. He may very well have a 6 or set at that point, plus you'd like to set up a reasonable pot for a big river bet. An overpair may come along too.

i agree that was a pussy turn bet. i checked behind and he had 76 which i was not putting him on at all.

think i'm happy w/ checking behind here.

[citizenwind]

I don't understand why people are checking behind. Without being results oriented, it's hard to put him on a set or flush draw, and after he calls four to a straight you've got to expect him to call a river bet with a worse hand. I bet the river but puke if raised against random.
