Borgata 40/80 10 handed. UTG+1, a NYC club regular who has a rigid set of playable hands and will play all of them for any number of bets opens. He range is pretty standard here, AA-77/AK-ATs/KQ, KJs maybe if he's feeling saucy or steaming. He's standard postflop in that he can bet draws and the like. Terrible player 3-bets to his immediate left. This is Kenny for those who know. He was up 2 racks but is now stuck 2 racks and he's on his way to losing it all. Kenny will get to showdown with any pair and will bluff most hands on the river if the turn checks HU when he is stuck and steaming. He is stuck and steaming. Folded to me and I cap on the button with Qc Qh, they call. 3 players, 13.5 SBs.

Flop is Ad Kh Jc. Checked to me and I bet, they call.

3 players, 8.25 BBs. Turn is the Ah. Checked to me and I check.

River is the 7c. Checked to me and I bet.

You gotta figure that either of those guys would bet a decent K in this spot. So I like the bet. I would fold to a raise from UTG, but call a raise from the steaming guy (assuming its heads up).

is anything that you beat calling, or anything that you don't folding? i kinda doubt it

yes, a jack is calling, and a king would have bet the river.

I think you guys are giving these players too much credit. They may not bet a K on the river.

Nice bet...you way ahead of original raisers 10-10 and Kenny...well he might have never recovered from Fri night 150-300 game (if thats the dude who i think you talking about)...

maybe a jack calls, but I'm not sure a K bets here. HU, yes, but I'm not sure about 3 handed

I agree that they might not bet it in a live game, but they would bet a K a large enough majority of the time to give sfer a value bet when they check. That is as long as they are calling a lot with their non-K hands, which I think we can assume.

After sfer checked second Ace on the turn why wouldn't they bet the king on the river?
