NL 400: 2 pair on the river, deep

ir0nphist · #1 12-26-2006, 09:10 PM

villain is belabasci who I have at 28/21. He sees me at something around 26/19 this session.
We haven't played any big pots together.

I didn't want to c/r the turn because I wanted to keep the pot manageable since we started the hand ~230BBs deep.
On the river I thought I could make a smallish vbet that could look like a missed draw so AK & maybe weaker A's would payoff.
I'm pretty sure the river is a fold as played. . . anyone disagree? Anyone c/c the river?

Sure is fun to play these dominated aces without initiative oop. I would c/r the turn, fold to a big raise.

Looks like AQ, maybe QQ to me.
Good fold.
I'd usually fold A5s preflop being OOP , even though you are both deep.

Folding A5s with these stacksizes is not an option imo.

The hand is WP!

Looks good to me I guess, I like 3-betting here pre because it makes the hand easier to play though.

I would 3bet pf if I choose to play this hand here

I fold the river raise too. He could have a cheap river but instead decides to make the pot huge - thats looks like real strength and he can have so much that beats you.

3Betting PF would make this hand probably really ugly for OP - whats your reasoning here to 3Bet?
