100 6max AA

[george w of poker]

villain is unknown. i bet the flop immediately and he called the flop bet instantaneously so i put him on 9t,jt,qt,kt, pocket pair at that point. usually, a set will at least think about it for a second.

on the turn, could be a set, 88 being most likely, but i'm still leaning towards a pair.

is this river a good place for a block bet?

That, sir, is not a blocking bet. What do you do if he raises?

Yes, you have to bet this river, and I'd lean closer to 50-60. A good balance between getting paid off and blocking.

I'd also raise less preflop (or raise a shitload if I had a LAG image), and bet less on flop. You need to control the pot better here.
