Tricky river decision (1/2)

[iggymcfly]

Haven't been paying enough attention to have much of a read on villain, but he hasn't been out of line. Don't have my HUD open either.

I'd call cuz he open limped on the button, only has 75, and your bet sizing with the board might encourage him to bluff.

It is closish tho, I wouldn't hate a fold.

[Hoopster81]

is leading the flop standard here?

I would c/c river. You are WA/WB.

As played, given your turn and river bets, and without any discernable read other than he's sitting w/ 3/4 stack and open limped the button, I'd make the call here expecting to be good often enough to make it +EV.

i cant really say i like the lead on the flop... There are hands that you beat here even if it isnt a stone cold bluff so i probably make the reluctant call. Youd be surprised how many times donks have flipped over two spades in this situation and play it like the nuts. PM me the outcome [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

"he hasn't been out of line"
That should really mean fold, but in a HU pot, I have trouble with that.

There's AT, A4, TT (which is the main loser that I think he might have) 44 and nut flush. I guess I'd have to call. I think you win this more than 1/3 of the time, and HU I do think it's possible he's playing a flush that way.

I'll get to the outcome in the thread eventually after we get through the discussion.

Was going to comment on this for now though:

By definition, we're always WA/WB on the river since there are no cards left for anyone to catch up to us. However, this certainly isn't a checking situation. Weak flushes and maybe even Axxx will pay us but will rarely bet if checked to. And I don't see anything villain can have at this point that he'd be looking to bluff with.

call and cry

PSB turn

[original_red]

I would like a check/call on the river.. Anyways.. Villain played his hand kinda weird.. I would cry and call about 70% of the time, and the other 30% I would fold, depending on the player.. against a super tight never-bluffing opponent it's a fold 100% of the time... But, what lead you into this spot was the weakish river bet.. you should bet(strong)/fold, or check call this river.. I like c/c by far

Standard. Prolly a call on the river, but regretably
