Default Re: river screwplay

easy flop bet. If raised, easy call. Fold turn UI. K or Q on the turn and you're in.... a tough spot... but 9 outs if behind to Ax.

Folding instead of calling reduces agression factor so this high AF wouldn't be indicitive of a chance to bet/3bet.

This might be a good time for this. A player with Ax will think it's good and valuebet... and most players will call your raise as well. Just keep in mind that with his large hand range, his Jx and Tx hands that he's calling with are probably checking behind but calling if you bet.

Screwplaying probably isn't too bad because you get 2 bets out of Ax, but then you miss one bet out of Jx and Tx... if his flop and turn fold numbers are high, then I give him credit for the ace, see his high agression and check/raise the river. If his flop and turn fold numbers are low, then he could just as easily have a jack or ten and I'm betting the river.
