10NL - I thought I was going to Valuetown

[DawnToDusk]

I have no PT as I have been trying to work on just getting reads and my hand reading skills. Heres the hand I just observed before where villain makes a huge C/RAI (he tables top two).

So with that being said what do you think of this hand? I feel like the bet on the river is really thin if even +EV at all.

what were you hoping to get value from on the river?

[DawnToDusk]

Thats why I thought it was so thin. I thought I might get something from 55-88 or maybe a nine if the vill got to the river with something like A9s.

I figured I would of been played back at some if he had a J. Obviously I have only seen him play one hand fairly aggressive after the flop but that also doesn't mean he will be aggressive with just TP.

I think this is definitely -ev. Slow down on the turn, just because this is a rr pot doesn't mean its wrong to check. I think by checking the turn you might be able to get some draws to possibly bluff at it and you have a shot at keeping the pot relatively small when your hand only has some show down value. On the river you are being called by a better hand 98% of the time.
