Villian (SB) is a bluffer. I played this so weak and got what I wanted which was a river bet from him, because I think he has absolutely air, or maybe one pair that can't withstand any pressure.
$1/$2 5-handed
Preflop: Hero is BB with A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif J /images/graemlins/diamond.gif. Villain (SB) posts a blind of $1.
3 folds, Villian calls $1, Hero raises to $7, Villain calls $5.
Flop: ($13.50) K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif Q /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue"> (2 players) </font>
Villian checks, Hero bets $4!!, Villian calls $4.
Turn: ($21) T /images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue"> (2 players) </font>
Villian checks, Hero bets $7!!, Villian calls $7.
River: (34.25) 7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue"> (2 players) </font>
Villian bets $14, Hero ???
Now the added consideration is this. The site has a high hand bonus for the day. There's 6 hours left in the promotion and one other player has a royal already. You have to show down the hand to get a piece of the bonus. If I raise here and he folds, I get no bonus. The bonus is $50 which would be split amongst all winners. At best, I'm looking at $25 gained from the promotion. $16.67 if someone else gets a royal before the promotion runs out. Do I call and take the sure bonus, or can I make more enough times here by raising, taking into consideration the times he folds. My read on him is that he is going to fold this quite often if I put any kind of raise in here. I think he's bluffing with air/small pair here.
