NLTRN $6...pay me off

chrismystero · #1 10-31-2007, 01:27 AM

well, what can I say about villain after 7 hands in the $6 match....umm:
-he seems bad
-ive raised i think every button so far and he has called 3 times, min-3betted once (i wasnt too strong, he minbet flop, i called, he bet small on turn, i folded)
-he seems to call down somewhat light

Anyways, here it is. On the river I go into the tank first off deciding to raise or flat call. Pretty quickly I come to the pretty simple conclusion to raise. But how do we get value here? Min? Some other number? or Shove?

(I know this probably isn't all that difficult but I feel like I'm missing out on value lately either by giving villains too much credit or not getting enough on a raise.)

Thoughts appreciated.

He looks like he is trying to push you off. I think that raising smaller is better, but I wouldn't mind seeing a shove here, it may get a wtf? call. I doubt we are seeing a strong jack here too often though.

I'd raise to 560, you'll get paid off with a jack

a shove maybe isnt this bad.
Most 6$ players call this with two pairs here or make hero calls...
