Button is loose passive.
Party Poker 10/20 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Button calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero checks. Flop: (2.50 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls. Turn: (2.25 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls. River: (4.25 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero ? Button is on the passive side but not so much that he will never bet a hand worse than mine here, but he is no habitual bluffer by any means. Do I have a value bet? |

I don't think a worse hand is calling here. I would check and try to induce a bluff from A-high.

[/ QUOTE ] Check/calling is the worst of the options because you are giving villain the choice to value bet his better hands and take a free showdown with his worse ones (like A-high). In this situation I usually check/fold, but sometimes bet/fold depending on villain. I'd really want to have seen what he is willing to pay to showdown before I bet this. |

Why check/fold? Most players would have raised a 9, T, or better PP already trying to protect their vulnerable hand. The better question is whether to bet/call or bet/fold, I think. I likely bet/fold.
Edit: Oops, opponent is LP. Still. . .I like bet because if he's passive he won't bet A-high. |

[/ QUOTE ] It was mostly this part: [ QUOTE ] try to induce a bluff from A-high. [/ QUOTE ] that I had a problem with. Ace high will probably call, but will not bluff. If ace high bet it would be more of a value bet than a bluff. If he would have said "induce a bluff from a missed draw" or something, that would be fine. But this inducing a bluff from A high stuff is stupid. |

I'd bet. A-high will call. Sometimes K-high will call.
