I don't like the check/call on the turn. You either have the best hand, where a free card would be a disaster, or you have the worse hand and with 1 or no outs. Even if your opponent is being overly aggressive its hard for him to raise the turn with a worse hand if you bet. I like a bet/fold on the turn and a bet/fold on the river.

LP1's hands smells heavily of a set. JJ/QQ/AA is also possible. Our effective odds on the turn is something like 5.5:1 so I think we're good enough here. Ugly river and I don't think we can clarkmesiter given our turn check/call.... can we?

I think this is fine. Definitely an interesting hand though. I don't think you can fold the turn HU since he may have 99/JJ/QQ. I'm thinking it's probably a set though. AA is possible too. I saw people slowplay AA preflop about 8 times in the last two days and I've been grateful. Not that AA is good for you. But anyway, I'd check/call there as well.

But when the 9 and fourth spade falls on the river AND he bets I don't think folding is wrong. And I'm pretty sure you were behind before that and I really doubt if he's folding anything better. If you called the river I'd prefer bet/fold but since you folded (and as I said I think correctly) I can't find a reason to bet.

I'm not sure how sissy that is. LP is pretty tight, and if he called two cold he may have made a set on that flop. I couldn't imagine him having A10 and I'm having a really hard time putting him on anything else.

Can this guy really have anything other than AsAx? I mean, lets assume he's at least somehwat reasonable...he can't bet that river with only the 10s, can he?

[chief444]

Well, he could since you raised preflop, capped the flop, but checked the river. He surely realizes that you would likely bet a high spade here. But sure AsAx is a good possibility. Either way I'm sure you were beat.

The stats are over 46 hands so its not so farfetched he doesn't have AA.
