Default Re: A river situation that gives me problems...

[ QUOTE ]
So we are value betting against worse hands and folding to raise on the river hopefully to better hands.

I just see him folding AQ, AJ a lot more here than if we were to just check and maybe he'll bluff (I think this happens a bunch). I also don't see why we bet here if he has a better hand like Js or Qs, do we think he will fold?

In my experience, big aces do not bluff very much. It's just an extension of the idea that players with hands with some showdown quality seem to bluff less than they should.

A bet against typical opponents is purely for value. AQ / AJ is much more common than QQ / JJ, by almost 3:1.

my 2 cents.
