Comments on the turn bet?? The river check? Action afterwards? Likely hands of the opponent.

I am struggling with these hands and the reverse implied odds I am giving to people who might draw out on me.

you check river to induce a bluff, so call.

I don't think you can cf that river because would villain really call with bottom pair?

This looks a lot like Tx/bluff to me because I would think a player would value bet KT/trips here.

Yeah, you only lose to T9, really, lol, unless he is a habitual slow-player.

Btw, don't like how you played the hand.

Raise preflop. And as played I would check-raise the turn all-in rather than bet the turn.

[The Vookster]

yes... agree now I should have raised pre-flop. It was the third hand I played so I was feeling things out.
As played with the weak limp pre-flop, how about the betting afterwards?

I did not check the turn because I thought the button was calling with a draw.

which is exactly why you snap call the river because no draw got there. He's got like TJ/AT/T7 there a lot. If he's got T9, reload.

c/r AI is a nice turn line too now that I think about it ... you can fold the river easier if a king or an eight comes if you check the turn and villain checks behind, but they may either have an overpair or a ten, which could bet the turn.

crap... i mistyped the hand. The river was the 8 hearts. No wonder my question looked stupid. The draw came. very sorry about that...

Lol, now INSTA-fold.

[ThaHero]

If you thought he had a draw why are you confused on the river?

[The Vookster]

i folded... I was confused on whether I should have and whether I should have played it differently on the turn.

the guy told me he had A-10. He could have been lying but it sounds about right.
