$20/40 - river spot

HeheOkok · #1 02-11-2007, 10:07 AM

Background: I've been sitting with villain on several tables the last few hours, both on 10/20 and 20/40. I've stacked him once with a big flop and called him down light a few times catching some bluffs. The table has just gotten down to HU play and it's obvious he's starting to call my reraises to a greater extent to apply pressure.

Villain is a respected player on the site and plays 10-20 - 50/100, has been playing pretty passive from what I've seen. Not many reraises preflop and I can't remember ever seeing him checkraise. His stats (500 hands) are 28/20/1.6, playing 3 to 6 handed.

Comments on the other streets are fine too (kinda smallish flop bet), but the river is obviously what I wanna discuss here. The pot size is around 2k, villain has about 2.8k left.

Bet? Check?

Felt pretty lost here and I would appreciate some help...

A very nice, thorough analysis Grimstarr. No, but seriously. Is this the obvious play here? Bet 60-70%? Why? Discussion people!

Bet like 2/3 the pot for value against a pp. fold to a shove

unless you're a huge vagina and you never bluff here normally

because he will call with any decent 2 pair.

I bet like 900-ish and fold to an all-in. I think most of the time your ahead here and I dont think he's going to be betting this river on a bluff or with a weaker hand. Betting anymore than 900 kind of obligates you to call an all-in because your so commited already and I dont really like that.

Pretty basic I guess...

River: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($1940, 2 players)
HERO bets $1100, SB calls.

Results:
Final pot: $4140
HERO shows K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
SB shows 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
SB wins $4179.00 from the main pot
