Default Re: Easy 400 Max hand? Fold the river or call?

[ QUOTE ]
You think he checkcalled with top or second pair all the way and now made 2 pair?

Quite possible.

Or he is value betting a flushdraw with a Queen?

I think "blocking bet" is the term you're looking for here.

Seemed like either a bluff or a made straight to me.

The only possible straights are 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], given that he's passive, these are all possible, but there are way less combos of these than there are of the two pair hands.

Regardless, though, this statement is just wrong. You'll see two pair/top pair bet this river a lot.
