Default Re: River play no. 1

skp,
Heads-up BB could have anything really. One poster thought he had an ace because he is a good player. I thought the opposite, that a good player with a pair below the Ace (Kx, 7x, 99) would test you on the turn and dump if you raised (a la Tommy Angelo). The other possibilities- he had or made two pair and is afraid you'll check the turn. Or he bluff bet the flop with Ax.
I like just calling the turn. In a small heads-up pot I'll take the higher variance play. If I'm ahead I don't want him bailing on the turn.

To answer your second question, if I raised the turn I would bet the river and make a crying call if raised. BB probably wouldn't check the river with a full house but will probably call with a K.

Jamie
