Raise the river?

[mediumpimpin]

yes and yes. Bet turn 1st hand, probably second hand too.

why would you bet turn in hand 1?


river bet in hand 1 is fine if you think J is calling. I would make it more like $30 though.

[TheSalche]

Betting the turn in hand one would be an attempt to price out drawing hands and possibly get a cheap showdown if villain thinks you'll fire a third barrel.

Raise river in 2nd hand, I'm okay with not betting the turn here.

[Casper05]

river bet it Hand 1 is too small, though I'd lean more towards c/c a decent bet.

Hand 2- raise the river

what draw? villain has to put you on bluffing 3 barrel with AK high for him to check call turn, check river in which case you are betting the turn and betting the river for value with AA.

Im betting turn because I think it will help reveal his hand.

hand 1- both checking and betting the turn is fine. Its hard for me to put him on a Q after checking the river, but fold to AI is pretty standard IMO.

hand 2- if you do raise, you've got to fold to a push.
