Re: Ace on the river
 

betting is by far the best play.

Re: Ace on the river
 

He is not betting any of the hands you want him to have if you check. Bet/call is better than checking, by a lot. Bet/fold, eh, I'd have to be there to do that. Even if he hit 2 pair he has to be worried about AK, so I don't know what he'd raise with. Guess that makes calling more right.

if youre not going to fold to a raise, invite him to raise here more often with air.

id prefer to bet fast so that way he doesnt raise you with a wide range of 2 pair holdings.

i agree that this river needs to be bet.

Re: Ace on the river
 

I'm surprised at the responses this is getting. bet/call seems like the worst option to me. is he really popping you with KJ or worse? if you think you have to value bet here go ahead, but I fold to the raise.

Re: Ace on the river
 

if he raises we're gettign almost 10:1. I agree he almost never raises with KJ, but what percentage of the time do you think he's popping you with air? For many players at this level I don't think the number is frequently going to substantiallyl lower than 10.

edit: also, what exactly is a raise representing here?
