NLT $11.50 River Straight

[Innocent Kitty]

I'm having trouble lately knowing if I should try to maximize value out of my semi-big hands on scary boards. He's shown me some bluffs when I folded on previous hands before the river, and seems somewhat solid in general. The river is at least a call because of the odds he's giving me. My question is, should I be pushing this hand over his raise on the river?

Insta-call? Doubt he will pay you off with anything less than a strong 7.

Inn Kit,

You played this hand a little backwards in my op. On the flop I'm leading out at this board 3/4 pot. On the turn we can either check or double barrell depending on our opponents style (i can see a check here against an 11-er, although there is merit for a clean blocking bet here which I like the most myself). Then on the river we obv bet out and if he raises us we ship it all in....

As played, Im shipping it on this river.

GL, Indy
