For everyone who voted value bet what do you think he range of hands he has that I beat AND he calls. Remember he have to have the best hand 55% of the times he CALLS.

Do I think I have the best hand? Yes.
Do I think I can bet for value? No.

Let the aggressive player bluff with a busted hand and pick it off. This also saves you from having to call a raise which you're going to have to reluctantly do.

I know the focus in these forums is always on value betting and inducing a bluff doesn't come up very often at small stakes, but there are times when it's the right play. A player this aggressive(Avg Agr. of 2 and a VPIP of 40) will bet very often when checked to on the river when you show weakness by checking.

Again, I don't want people to start checking the river to induce a bluff, but just be aware not all hands can be value bet. Value betting is still the bread and butter of small stakes success.

You dont think that guy would have raised a flush draw somewhere? If he has a J, good for him.

I'm betting, and calling a raise. Plenty of worse hands he will call with here.
