T9 is basically never good. Your $10 river bet is basically a bluff.

I think I'd check this river and call a reasonable bet. As played I'd probably let it go.

i don't love cc this river. what are you putting him on, a 7? if i checked, i'd probably only call a very small bet.

op, i think your play is fine, but i'd probably bet a little bigger on every street. now fold.

It's a bluff because worse hands will rarely ever call and some better hands might fold.

I like c/c if he's aggressive, c/f if he's passive

better hands might fold? hahahahaha.

can someone explain the logic behind cc here? it's just to snap off a 7, right? do we think villain might value bet a worse hand?

c/f c/c the turn

ybother · #8 05-04-2007, 12:44 AM

fwiw, villain is 40/17/3.5, over 70 hands

ybother · #9 05-04-2007, 12:47 AM

i bet turn/river thinking he holds a seven alot of the time here

Not sure he would just randomly minraise utg with 7x, but I don't know. I think he has some sort of pair here a bunch of the time. The river raise isn't really a "please just fold raise", it looks more like a value raise than anything. I would say villain connected big here.
