Is this for value or a bluff?

[gehrig]

of course its for value. i never have the worst hand unless he made two pair on the river

[danzasmack]

how many time have you made this play vs. him?

does he bet a 7?

vs. someone with no history i like it but if i recall you've played him a decent amount. if you've been value betting a lot thus far this session this is jackpot imo, though i sucks when he checks back K hi.

[gehrig]

i havent played him that much he usually hit and runs me after 8 hands

[danzasmack]

"he usually hit and runs me after 8 hands"

vs. these guys i bet the river usually because they don't want to lose and will check back a pair happy to get a showdown. you need him to make a bad bluff here i think.

[The Funky Llama]

i would bet here. I think if he had a straight or flush draw he would have put in a raise on the flop or turn usually. So I think his most likely hand is 7x, 9x, 88 and I don't think these hands bet/call enough. Of course, if he always bet those hands it wouldn't even matter if he called or not because that is just gravy...but I think he will check 7x usually and possibly 9x too.

If he is expert he should probably bet all those hands knowing that you'd value bet all better hands usually except those you were checkraising and that you will often be paying off with Khigh or like 44-66 hoping he is on a busted draw. But most players are not good value bettors so I expect him to check the majority of his 7x/9x hands.

lol, i wish i could post this in the tourney forum where deeb spends all his time, his roll is way low to be playing this game right now. I think this is a very easy value bet as ur almost always ahead after his line here, seems he has a 7,9 or busted drawsky

[Victor]

you should bet bc most ppl suck at valuebetting.

I agree with Llama, just bet the river for value. Whenever I try this, they always check behind and I look like a [censored] idiot.
