Hand from Stars 150

2005 · #1 02-09-2006, 10:20 PM

Villain just called my button raise from SB w/ K7c and check-pushed on a T high flop w/ 2 clubs, doubling my KT up, check and pick off a bluff or bet the river for value?

pot the flop.

I probably just bet 200-300.

I think that getting him to bluff will be difficult here, since you've strongly represented an ace. I think that if you bet out, he will call you with alot of Ax hands. However, if you check, he may just take a free showdown because of the scary board.

I'd prefer to induce a bluff on the river.

I just don't understand what you think will bluff here on the river that calls on the flop. If he had a flush draw he caught. I think villian is more likely to have just a pair of aces here.

Villain has what, 570 left? Any argument against setting him in? Will he call with one pair? How likely do you think it is he was drawing and hit on the turn?

There is almost 0 chance he has 2 diamonds, he would have pushed the flop harder.

I bet the river for value.

Usually, I would bet 250.

if that semibluff happened more than 2 hands ago I might try to induce the bluff but he'd have to have some balls that a lot of people don't have to bluff 2 hands after he got caught. I'd value bet.
