Looks fantastic to me...

Looks fine. I would bet the river harder though initially.

[DaveRockNo20]

Maybe raise preflop...


Orange, why are you better the river harder initially?

[Nielsio]

Fine. I doubt he even has an ace.

[DaveRockNo20]

I always find the check raise river so strange...

[orange]

I also sometimes overbet this river. But I generally bet near pot on alot of hands, so that might be the reason why I like betting a bit more on the river.

I think he has either a small small hand, like 2x or some small pp or whatever or a big one (ie. Ax). Given the former, I'm not even really sure he calls even a small bet with these types of hands (maybe but meh). So a larger bet on this river is to perhaps get a call/get more action from something larger like a slowplaying Ax.

Shove the river.

Edit: And I mean first time round.
