OK, my guy here is 60/22/2.5 but only for ~30 hands.

I did notice he wins half his showdowns, and folds to a river bet 5/7 times. well here is what he looks like now:



and here is the hand.

Well, I suppose you bet the river, as the board will probably look quite scary to him, and he seems to fold the river a lot.

Yes, you did make me look, lol. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Just because he's folded the river a lot does not mean he was folding PAIRS on the river a lot. Some draws do, in fact, miss. I think we have an easy check here.

LOL @ betting to fold a better hand.

Standard river c/f IMO. It sucks being out of position with A high against calling stations. Dont make it worse by c/c'ing rivers where all possible draws are filled up.

BTW turn is a yucky spot as well. Betting is fine but without the picked up gutter I would just c/f.

Edit EDIT : Bah! He isnt a calling station but very aggro. I would c/c turn because you have to call a raise. River is stil a c/f but much closer to a c/c than against a station.

Well we are stuck. I can't bet it because, well because we don't have a hand or any solid reason to think he will fold a pair. Also a bet is wasted if we have to fold to a raise, and we would.

This guys stats look like he bets the river if checked to with or without a hand? I think I c/c here. We probably lose if we call but maybe win better than 1 in 7.

I don't like to bet this past flop if I don't hit on the turn. If you 2 and 3 barrel every AQ you get you're going to get caught with your pants down alot. As played though I would bet river.

Betting the river is terrible. So few worse hands that call and a better hand is never folding.

Did you notice his aggression frequency on the river? This is a much better check-call than a bet. I'm inclined to check-fold because this board has a little bit of everything for just about all of his hands.
