Default Re: 50/100 party hand I was sweated on

But if you were the other guy, wouldn't you value bet any pair on teh river given that BK played his hand like he could have AK or AQ (and also played it like he has no Jack and probably no Ten)?

When this guy bets the river, I wouldn't call thinking he might have AK (b/c I don't think he would bet that hand). Well, he might but I am basically calling because he might have AQ or a pair lower than Tens often enough to make calling worthwhile.

One can't put too much stock in his stats because BK apparently does not have many hands on him. Those stats might be based on 2 or 3 orbits only...who knows...BK didn't specify.

Incidentally, it's funny how poker thinking has evolved. It used to be that a guy giving advice to "checkcall, checkcall, checkfold" would be laughed out of town. Now, we have at least two of the forum's more accomplished players (you and James) giving that advice.

And the advice is correct in many spots (but IMO, not this one).
