I'm checking the turn. That's a fairly dry board, so I expect 2+2er to check-raise weak made hand, check-fold absolute junk, and WA/WB Ax. As played, I don't mind the river raise, because I think it works 'often enough'.

I'm always curious about the folding % of people whose wa/wb river donk gets raised. My feeling is that it's not very high.

Meh. Probably worth a shot from time to time. You've got to at least be in the neighbourhood of reasonable odds.

If you get away with it, awesome. If he calls and you lose, sucky. J/K

Results aside. Why would he bet/fold the river when he can check/call and see a showdown for the same price? This line makes no sense to me. I just don't think he intends to fold, and if he does fold, then you probably had the best hand, and he was just making a desperate bluff with a busted straight draw. I really don't know what to make of this hand. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] But I commend you for your effort. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

If its checked through the turn, he checks the river, you bet, he calls. Is it safe to say he was trying to induce a river bluff with Ax?

If this is the case, river raise works well IMO.

Because he may have a wa/wb hand and doesn't want HERO to check behind on the river and lose a bet. This is a fairly standard line.

I still don't get it, wouldn't VILLAN want to induce a bluff if that is the case, instead of getting raised or having hero just fold. I'm interested in hearing more about this line since it is not one that I often consider. Check/call flop, check/call turn, bet/fold river? If you take this line do also do this as a bluff as well, and if so is that why OP would consider raising villan on river will work?

the cc, cc, bet river line generally wants to be called on the river. Ax wants KK type hands to call b/c they won't bet the river on their own. sometimes the river is a bet/fold, sometimes its bet/call.. OP recognized the line and is figuring its bet/fold enough to make this raise.

I dunno if I bet the turn as OP.. the flop call on this board means we're kinda boned UI.
