Super Tuesday - River C/R

[Bill Ivey]

I have played Boykee in cash games and he is pretty TAG, haven't played much with him in tourneys though... I'd imagine he has the same style.

What do you think?

1. I don't like raising AJo UTG when deep-stacked. I'd fold there.
2. Why check the turn? If he has a PP and didn't believe u had a j on the flop(or is slow rolling aa,kk) then he's not going any where on turn either. I guess he may have ak or aq and u can let him "catch up" but on avg I like to bet again and keep our range wide b/c if u checkraise he'll be hardpressed to call whereas if u bet out enough u can get it all in on the river.
3. DO NOT check the river. He'd be only too happy to check behind with many hands that would call a bet.

Betting seems much better than check raise on a board of this texture. Chances are if he was gonna bluff w/ a 65 or 89 type hand he'd have done it on the turn.

I think most often he has a marginal hand when u get to the river. Knowing what we know now, I'd say he has QQ here about 90% of the time, and I'd fold to the 3b.

u don't think he's reraising w/ qq preflop or raising on flop?

Given the description (mainly that hes a cashgame player and has played w/ BI), I'd say he almost never does either of those things.

ur saying this because he views hero as super aggro who will continue to push action for him and has wide range?

[Ansky]

hero is certainly not super aggro, the reason u call the flop and not raise is because raising folds out almost every hand u beat, and ensures a huge pot vs hands which beat you.

ty. what about preflop?

same concept basically... QQ would definitely be on the bottom end of your perceived reraise range in a spot like that (utg open, utg+2 reraise looks VERY strong).
