Default Re: 15/30 Aces spot.

my line here is to bet the flop, bet the turn, and check the river if i dont have a two way hand, or if a third heart falls. basically re-eval.

fwiw the best card for your hand in this spot will usually be a seven. just something to consider, as it gives you the best possible two pair.

i dont like checking the flop because it gives your opponent a free card, we have less information about his hand, and you'll usually be putting in two big bets here always, i.e., calling the turn/river, and imo it's better to put in 1.5 bb's on flop/turn and getting the following: fold equity, information, value, control of the hand.

yeah, so, bet the flop, call if raised, bet the turn, call if raised, and re-eval the river.

also, buzz, i think this board is more likely to have helped villains hand here as he is in the BB. i.e., if he was cold calling from the button etc, it's less likely, but the BB gets defended by a very wide range of hands.

Checking on a TT4 flop makes a lot more sense than checking on this flop.

Hi Sham,

I see what you're thinking here, and it's not bad in some spots IMO, but here, your hi hand is a little too strong, and your draws a little too poor for this to be the right spot. AJ3T or AJ34 would be a nice spot to check behind here, since you're always calling if raised, though you won't love it.

I generally take the same line as TxRedMan here, but I have certain HU opponents that are so predictable that I use the same approach that you did.

If you know the player, and know why you are playing this hand the way you are, then there is nothing wrong with it at all.

Even more, if you think beyond this one pot, you are giving the players a little more to consider on your action on future hands.

Not that it should matter too much. The results were pretty interesting to me. Fwiw, I was raising the river if he led out and calling a 3-bet obv.

*** RIVER *** [Kd Jh 2s 7h] [4s]
Villain: checks
Me: bets $30
Villain: calls $30

Seat 4: Villain (big blind) mucked [9h Qs Td Jc]
