10-20 River Play

[Jerkass333]

UTG is 46/12 and CO is 58/28. I havent been at the table long and these stats are from datamining earlier so alls I got are the numbers. My only question in this hand is whether anyone prefers leading the river instead of going for the c/r.

Bet the river. You don't particularly want to know out UTG. Instead, you'd rather trap him. Give UTG or CO a chance to raise with a weaker hand. Also, and maybe most importantly, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see this river checked through.

fine throughout but bet the river

I like the way you played it. I think a river c/r is perfect since you figure he has a king and will call your c/r.

It's actually on the unlikely side that he has a king given the way he played preflop and flop, and given the fact there are 2 kings on board now. I think you got "lucky" and your opponent is a good value-bettor betting a 9 or some such. Ordinarily a river bet is gonna get checked down if opponent has a pair &gt; King, and this is probably the case so a bet is preferable IMO. Kings may also raise this river depending what kind of opponent you're up against.

I hate the flop CR. You're OOP. You are putting money in behind and will have to face bets on the turn.

Bet the river. There's way too high of a chance it'll be checked behind since it doesn't look like CO had a king with no flop raise. If he does, maybe you get to 3-bet. You also get to trap UTG.

I don't like this flop check-raise at all. I just check/call.

[Jerkass333]

With 2 callers this flop c/r is for value isn't it? That's why I did it.

[Drontier]

are you for reals? this DEFINITELY does not look like a king. look at the action. He is easily betting the river with a 9 or pp or "just cuz he was checked to". I don't think flop c/r is that bad but it does give away ur hand. You have an extra gut so it might be worth it compared to the implied. River is a PLEASE bet. This is an absolute must bet. Since CO bet I think u got very very lucky.
