Villain is a semi-competent reg. I simply can't see him stacking off with worse than 2 pair like this... He check / calls the flop and, without position, checks the turn hoping for a bet. I don't oblige, not necessarily out of fear of him hitting the straight, but because my hand isn't all that strong. However, by the river, I have improved to two pair - and a lot of players are taking a swipe at this pot since I checked through the turn - hence the river raise. Again, though, is he ever stacking off with worse than middle two pair? I just can't see it - and mama always said, "Don't go broke on a limped pot." Hero folds

nice hand. River is either call or bet/fold as you did. I usually play this weaker and just call, your line is probably better.
ReplyDeleteHe led into me; is it poor form to be raising this spot? I'm no doubt raising for value, but I obviously did not expect him to 3bet raise all in on the river. This is a rarity at these stakes without the nuts.
ReplyDeleteHard to put him on a hand here but I am guessing 55 or 34 given that he was in SB. From this passive a player this is a b/f. I would have raised a bit less but that is just stylistic I think.
ReplyDelete@Brian - Problem with raising less in this spot is I won't get full value from a guy who is calling with the worst hand. If I raise to say $12, he's gonna call - just the same if I raise to $15 or $20. I couldn't reason that villain would call an over-pot sized raise, but I could reason that he would call a pot raise, given the smallish size of the pot. To me, it felt as though it was a call or fold for the villain regardless of my raise sizing. Clearly, I don't expect an all in here.
ReplyDeleteWhat hands do you hope to get value from with the raise on the river?
