Hero has been in line at the table, playing solidly.
Villain has been coolered 2 times by hero, once with top set over mid set and once with nut straight over poop-end straight.

Game is .10/.25 PLO on AP, (max buyin of 200BBs)
Hero has ~80
Villain has ~40
(6 max table)
Hero is MP with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and pots it preflop after a few folds. Villain on button calls.
Flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Hero pots and villain instacalls.
Turn A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Hero checks Villain checks behind.
River 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero checks Villain leads for pot. Hero raises 2/3 pot, villain folds.
Thoughts here?

I was fairly confident villain would bet this river with any flush or a made straight, he was a little tilted and didn't seem to me like he was a winning player.
How would you suggest playing this hand?

pot pot pot, don't give a chance for a smaller boat to fold.

[Triantafylidis]

Clearly I didnt put him on a boat. Had he flopped a set on that board he is clearly repotting the flop. Theres no reason for him to peel one off here if he has a set. Also, if he has filled up he is surely betting the turn after I check to him. Villains hand looks more like a made straight or made flush. Try thinking before you speak, thanks.

Leading on all streets looks best to extract max value.

[Elrazor]

if you are going to play the hand like this i think probably a smaller raise on the river might be best - maybe even a mini raise

overall you probably won as much as you could with your hand

I was trying to ask what you thought the best way was to extract max value here. If he has a set on the flop, hes going to bet then turn if i check or raise the flop. If he raises the flop, then the situation changes. Maybe i call and pot again on the turn or maybe I repot on the flop. But given his flat call, I cannot conclude that he has a made hand on the flop. 99% of the time this is a weak draw, a combo draw with position is likely to raise here. So given it was a good river card to complete most draws, I thought check raising might look a little strange and induce a curiosity call. I wasn't asking about a read on my opponent, i was asking how you feel the best way to play this hand is.

[Buzz-cp]

turn check is OK, but river check is horrible.

[darkcore]

in these situations i either go for the "pot pot pot"-line or check turn/bet river.

i think i do the latter to often...

[Rob121]

whats your name on a.p. i have been playing on there of late...
as someone you described as bad i don't think a river checkkraise is the most profitable play. id give him a chance on the turn to make a mistake. if he calls value town the river.
