75/150 Bet or CR?
 

Absolute Poker. Most players I've encountered so far are either pretty good, or mediocre/bad (passive).

I run KTo in the HJ. Unknown button coldcalls (I'm thinking he's probably bad). BB calls.

Flop JT2r. I bet, button calls, BB folds.

Turn 9. I bet, button calls.

River 5.

Bet or CR?

bet...
hes just checking through w/ 77 or a 89 way too often i think... also, im not sure youre a fav to won the pot if he calls a CR on this river, so one bet looks to be the right number.

Re: 75/150 Bet or CR?
 

I dont think this is a good spot to CR as he has shown no aggression at all and since he is unknown you can´t really expect him to bet anything that beats A-high.

Re: 75/150 Bet or CR?
 

i dont like a checkraise here. if you had a jack i think its closer.

Re: 75/150 Bet or CR?
 

Why would it be closer if he had a J ?

Re: 75/150 Bet or CR?
 

because its more likely villain pays off a checkraise with a worse hand and there are more hands that villain could have that are worth valuebetting that you beat. its dependant on the kicker that you have with your jack however of course, because J2 is not any different then KT in this spot other than considerations to combos and AT.

i just played a hand that reminds me of this thread.
button opens, i three AJ, he call.
flop QJ4
bet, call
turn 2
bet, call
river 6
check, bet, checkraise, call
he shows Q9, MHING.
yay!

Re: 75/150 Bet or CR?
 

I like this one more, think the check here does a better job at representing A-high.

Re: 75/150 Bet or CR?
 

Fairly simple bet.

I'm pretty sure if he bets a pair he's not folding to a CR here. I'm unknown to him too, and to CR here with AQ wouldn't be that uncommon in these games I don't think.

Anyhow, I went with the "don't expect too much of unknowns", and bet. He called with 98s. What a boring hand [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
