5/10 - 87o - River Decision
 

Here's the deal. Maybe the best table of all time with the best position of all time, and I'm running good.

Button is 70/26/1.9
UTG is 50/28/avg aggression

I was planning on check-raising if button bet, as he was apt to do when checked to. Hence the flop check-through.

What's your river plan?

I'm not a fan of the SB complete or the flop check. The pot is small just lead out the flop. The way you played it I bet/call 1 fold for 2 on the river.

I love the SB complete and hate the flop. Bet the flop, bet the turn, bet the river. Call a river raise, fold to 3.

bet river fold to button raise, he's clearly drawing, but since you're going to call one, might as well bet.

edit: oh, and just bet the flop, won't comment there as the whole hand plays out different

Re: 5/10 - 87o - River Decision
 

There's positively no way I'm folding to a button raise. He's likely drawing, but he's also a 70/29/1.9 laggy dude.

ok, didn't see that, i'm ok with call. Still gotta wonder wtf could raise you that doesn't have you beat.

edit: if he's that retard that you might be beating a raise, might be better to c/c

That board's a bluffer's paradise.

i think the flop is good given your read on button. obviously it didn't work this time, but that doesn't automatically make betting better.

bet the river, call a raise and fold to 3.
