2/4 full at Bodog
I open for $14 in the CO and unknown button makes it $24. Blinds fold and I call. Flop is AAK rainbow. Check check. Turn is 3. Check check. River is 6.
Unknown has been at this table somewhere from 0-3 orbits and I haven't taken notice of him at all. If he's been here long enough he might have seen me play AA fast preflop against a shortstack a couple orbits ago. That's the only pot I've contested recently.
Typical Bodog players will make donktastic underbets if they flop huge so I don't expect to see a monster here hardly ever. I do expect him to have something that he can showdown since he hasn't bluffed at the pot. But I have no idea what range that constitutes.
Pot is around $50 and stacks are $300+.
How would you handle each of these hands on the river?
1) AK (nut boat)
2) A7s (trips, crap kicker)
3) KQ (aces and kings, top kicker)
4) JJ (aces and jacks)
5) 66 (sixes full)
6) 22 (aces and deuces)
7) 75s (nothing)
I did hold one of those seven hands and I felt my decision was pretty easy, but the results got me thinking about how I would handle some other decisions that might be more marginal. I believe my play in these situations tends to be too predictable.
Feel free also to comment on the previous streets if you'd like.
