This looks like a situation value bet situation. Say $400 minimum bet. If you push, you only going to get called if he beats you, but he may just call $400 with KK, or perhaps AQ. If he pushes, you'll be unhappy with the call, and unhappy with folding.

And I see nothing wrong with your post flop play.

I'm also assuming Villian is CO, or you slipped a third person in there.

HELLO? COMMENT ON MY HAND. THE RIVER. ITS BRUTAL. WHAT IS THE PLAN?

I like the way you played it post flop.

I am pretty certain he has one of three hands here, AA KK QQ. this may be weak but I check the river with the plan to fold to an all in and call any 1/2 pot sized bet or less.

[/ QUOTE ]honestly, i was distracted and not paying alot of attention during this hand.i already said i played it extremely sucky.how do i keep from compounding my horribleness on the river...? FWIW, this is not how i usually play this hand on flop,turn...

Re: PP1KNL. FLOP TOP SET. UGLY RIVER SPOT OOP.
 

bet what you think he may call with his range of hands. maybe 400-600, or you could move in.
if he has a set, oh well, tough luck.

you really dont think hero is good 33% of the time here? i think its really tough to fold this at the river, if he set on you i guess i pay him off, but i dont like checking b/c it lets him check behind with hands you beat and would get a call from.

Re: PP1KNL. FLOP TOP SET. UGLY RIVER SPOT OOP.
 

i guess the flop min raise + the big check raise call on the turn make me think he has a really big hand. checking the river after the ace falls shows weakness so i think there is a good chance he will take another shot at winning the pot with a bet of $500 or so. with the nuts he will go all in and that is an easy fold. if he is an all in bluffer than leading the river would work.

question: how would fsu and flawless play the flop and turn differently?
