Should i be 3betting this river?

Re: Straight on paired board, big pot.
 

3bet that turn dude. You gotta stick in a raise somewhere...I guess the only place now.

im not sure i raise the turn. I think theres a huge chance it will end up HU. Anyone raise the river as it was played?

I was about to say I also like the idea of delaying this raise, but you gotta do it on the turn. These guys are all a bunch of calling stations, so I agree with aK here. Also, one villain checked on the turn (showing weakness, so he probably was in c/f mode) and the others that bet would probably call if you raised. Get that value bet in.

The K falling is somewhat scary. I'm thinking long and hard about Stud's raise on the river (possible two pair?), but a quick review of PF and flop tells me he's not holding it. 3bet. Take that nice, big pot down.

You did the right thing on the turn...I think there's money to be made by trying to keep everyone around for the river. 3-bet the river though...you have to hope that someone had a K or just feels aggressive

Interesting point, but plenty of crypto 1/2 players will not raise KQ or KJ or obviously 22 pf. If i had to put studmaste on a hand looking at the action KQ,KJ or 22 would be the top 3.

Re: Straight on paired board, big pot.
 

I can't see many players calling 2 cold on the turn that they wouldn't call for 3.

G:

without any reads at all, and with the lack of a pf raise, I'm putting "Stud" on Kx, so he's betting his top pair. "And0" Has me worried, but a straight is a straight, and it beats 2p and trips, which I think we'll see here more often than a boat. I also think you're going to split this more often than you lose it, at least you have the other callers to pad the pod between the splitters.

I raise the turn. Pot is large enough that I start wanting to win it right now Raise the river, crying call to a cap. (assuming turn 3bet does not get someone to fold and betting is identical subsequently)


I'm guessing you lost it to K2, right? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
