I :Heart: Marginal Situations
 

5/10 Fullring

One loose EP limper, Button calls, I check in the BB with 35s.

Flop is 723r (none of my suite) I lead, both call.

Turn is 7 I lead only UTG calls.

River is 4 I check...

Villain is a loose caller and capable of some trickiness. I have a Laggy table image from raising so many hands (and showing down with T high in a blind steal) In one hand villain CR me on the river when I bet the whole way with AKs on 3KQ25 board, villain had KTs.

I didn't want to bet/fold the river so I checked planning to call. What do you think?

Re: I :Heart: Marginal Situations
 

If I check, it's to check-raise.

Nice hand.

Why check-raise this player with this hand?

I feel like we're best here so overwhelmingly often that we can make the C/R EV by picking up calls from a pair of 2s, ace or king high that bets out on the end. I was going off the "tricky" read.

Dunno, it's kind of a feel thing. I think Bet-calling for value/to induce bluff raise is probably better.

Perfect

Re: I :Heart: Marginal Situations
 

i play it the same, its not likely hes calling with anything you beat

Re: I :Heart: Marginal Situations
 

Bet/call. I expect to see ace high.

Re: I :Heart: Marginal Situations
 

for a long time i stared at this hand and thought you had a straight. then i realized im an idiot.

i like betting here.
