5/10 - AQs river decision
Another river decision at the same table. Villian is 70/26/1.5 over ~250 hands. Here's the thing: he makes funky river plays. He donks it a lot with hopeless bluffs or mediocre pairs. Should I or should I not 3-bet this river?

I don't think there's any way he plays 2-pair or a set this passively (before the river, that is), so 3-bet and confidently call a cap.

Re: 5/10 - AQs river decision
I would probably just call the cr. Someone with his stats could easily include completing any 2 suited from the sb. The only thing worse than losing to the bdfd would be spewing in the process. A4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]?

Re: 5/10 - AQs river decision
Please don't take this the wrong way, but you've got a serious leak in your game if you're afraid to raise top set, top kicker, heads up on the river just because it's possible you're beat. Unless you've got the nuts, it's always possible you're beat, but so what? You've got to value bet and raise your good hands.

Re: 5/10 - AQs river decision
I know you're replying to monthlynut, but the same applies to my game.
This hand is easy, and I only really posted it to prove it to myself. My river play has gotten atrocious. I call in weak spots due to the 'big pot theory' and don't value bet/raise enough. I've started to plug the bad calls a little, but I noticed tonight that I missed some value in a few spots. |

Standard 3-bet for me. This looks so much like Qx.

I should also note that this guy was a flop donk fanatic, as well. I was actually mad I raised the flop, because I probalby could've popped the turn.

[/ QUOTE ] You can never go wrong by very much fastplaying against LAGs. Sometimes it's better to calldown aggressive players, but that's for LAGs that have a brain and will fold worst hands if you get aggressive. This guy looks like the type that will go to war with nothing on occasion or donk you on the turn after calling your raise. I think the flop raise is fine. |

Re: 5/10 - AQs river decision
Sorry.. should've been clearer. I had a read that he donked flops and slowed down to flop aggression.
He wasn't a standard LAG. Sometimes he was preflop, sometimes not. Donks flop. Just about standard on the turn (though he'd throw a semi-bluff in there from time to time), and LAG-y river. I also absolutely owned him. I'm just reviewing a few spots where I question whether I played it optimally or not. |
