Re: Another interesting one from today\'s session

On the turn my 3-bet was meant as a combo protect my hand / free showdown play. On the turn I decided I had too much of a hand to fold, but that 3-betting was far better than calling since it made sb pay 2 bets cold and UTG was not likely to cap or bet the river with anything I could beat. At that point I was not confident enough that I was ahead of UTG to plan on betting the river.
When the river came I really wanted to bet, but decided instead to follow through with my turn plan and check. The J is also a fairly dangerous card, since it pairs up the straight draw. Looking back I like betting the river a bit more, but I still think it is very close.

I don't mind the free showdown play against an average player, but against this guy this is a value bet. He could be making his play with a pair and the Ah or Kh.
