HERO tries to induce the bluff..AJo $100

[AceofSpades]

Good/Bad/whatever? didn't really have any good reads on the guy. But I didn't see where betting for value would get called by a worse hand. FWIW I'm betting better aces/air here.

I think only hand beating you here is AQ, but it looks like he's getting more and more confident with a worse ace or PP. I think a call down is fine, but I would raise the river for value.

What's gonna call you? You chop with any ace except AK and a5 which have you beat. A king (and any worse hand) is never calling a raise here.

[Bulletproof Monk]

wow, raising this turn/river is a huge leak imo....

i definitely 'raise' the flop tho, just ignore his $1 bet, pretend that he checked

[shadow33]

Why didn't you raise the flop?

I would have probably raised the flop - checked the turn and called most river bets.

True, I would usually never do that, but the line here seems so weak progressing to confident that I really think a worse hand has a good chance of calling here. Now I did not mean to mislead, raising river is by all means not standard. It would have to come down to the feeling you got from the hand and any reads on player, but the wierd line makes me think a lot differently on this one.

49/50 times I just call this. Standard. But I see this situation as really not that standard.

I actually like your line. In my experience your line will get good value from random crap that otherwise would have folded to aggression from you.

[The Good]

As played definitely don't raise the turn or river, you will only be called by better hands and you obv. wont fold out any that beats you.

I don't get flop though, just raise it up man. you will be called by worse aces (maybe even some dumb pp's, we're playing smakll stackes). And if he got a deuce it will show form his future acting.

Exactly. I almost always treat min bets as checks.

Raise/bet the flop, I think the turn and river are fine.
