Getting used to 3/6

Villan was 22/0/1.13 over only 30 hands, so read is somewhat meaningless.

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
7 folds, Hero raises, SB calls, 1 fold.

Flop: (5 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB calls.

Turn: (3.50 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB calls.

River: (5.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB raises, Hero calls

Final Pot: 9.50 BB

Should I be checking / calling the river instead of bet / calling?

That's a ballsy freaking river c/r if he has the straight.

He also could have flopped a flush and was letting you bet his hand for him.

Either way, I play it the same.

I'm checking this river almost every time

I check this river against most opponents

Curious as to what range of hands you put opponent on the way the hand was played.

This is exactly why im checking the river, especially if you are calling that last one on the river.

I think if you're going to bet the river you need to fold to the checkraise. He called from the SB so he can have a ton of hands that beat one pair here.

You should check that river for sure IMO. Or be able to fold to a CR.

This hand is so odd. Any good hand should be betting the river, and it just makes me wonder if he is on a stone bluff when he check/raises. This is one of those calls that I make (and I'm sure are wrong) and figure that not many others would make. His play just doesn't make any sense here, gah I really don't mind checking on the end or betting since any pair will probably call us. Tough spot dude.

Exactly what my thinking was. Do I put him on a made flush or a holding a 2 or 7? I thought betting was correct. Folding for one more (even if raised) seems wrong too ...

It was a strange hand. I couldn't figure why he'd call a preflop raise with

K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

even if he put me on a steal move. He did have to call all the way down with the K though. Just one of those hands.

Thanks for being the first reply that doesn't make me feel silly for betting this.
