B/F river. As played I guess I muck.

[Zilarik]

Definite B/F. good spot to induce a bluff with the right read though.

[steve1401]

pls explain why b/f river.

your small flop and turn bets, the q high flop, the ace on the river, the missed flush draw and 90-35 odds make this an insta-call i think.

[rberg]

mmh...kinda tricky hand.

b/f prevents us from exactly this decision you're facing as played. But on the other hand no worse hand is calling the river bet and there is a chance he'd bluff putting us on a Q.
As played i call.

What are your opinions on the turn? i'd check here.

I would b/f here because i want to get to the SD cheaply. We might just have the best hand here.

By betting we get value from Q, maybe JJ or 1010 but lose the least to a set or some kinds of bizarre two pair. It is a value bet.

Unless villian is super bad, he folds Qx,JJ,TT and sorts and raises sets and most two pairs.

[tannenj]

[phantom_lord]
