[Duuzend]

Villain just sat down about an orbit ago, no history, total unknown to me.. What's your river line? Anything about the rest of the hand?

? what makes no sense about it... do u know what a value bet is?

[Casper05]

c/c sucks

I prob just bet 40 and give him the rest if he raises, praying he has AT. Eh, maybe I shove.

We can't fold if he shoves because we would be getting like million to one odds. So I guess bet/call. Checking is just too weak, because he could have so many other hands than the flush.

[Suigin406]

true, i'm being dumb and not reading stack sizes properly

[SABR42]

Check/call is the worst possible line on the river.

I like a value bet of around 60% pot, and crying call if he shoves.

Any significant bet on the river will put you all-in so imo you have two choices: check/fold or shove on the river.

What would I do? I would check/fold.

The turn bet was pretty large yet he just calls, like he fears nothing. Why? He's displaying strength through his calls so it's either a call bluff (to the river..?) or he's actually got a good hand. I say assume he's rational and lay down the hand when facing a large river bet. How often are we ahead here? If he checks it down then all the better. The pot is a good size.

I have one question though - how did the villain buy in for more than $100 at the .50/$1 level? You said he hasn't made any moves yet he is above $100. What gives?
