Re: Live hand: Bottom pair, ugly river
[ QUOTE ]
If you are going to call a river bet, you are much better of betting it yourself here. Why let AK/Q (the only 2 hands you beat) off the hook and give a chance to check behind? Its also really doubtful he checks behind better hands as he thinks you are pushing him around, so he will be value betting much more "defiantly".

AK/AQ or any Ax pretty much require a river bet by him given how the board developed. I think when I check the river given the action thus far, it's pretty much impossible for those hands to win a showdown (if they were good, I would have bet). I also don't think he's capable of making a really thin value bet either. He'd probably bet a T if he somehow didn't 3-bet the turn with it, and obviously he'd value bet KJ/QJ/etc., but I really don't think he'd go any thinner than that.
