Value raise river?
This is one of those marginal situations that I've been having trouble with. I'm in a terrible streak lately so I think I've been a little gunshy, missing some value bets and raises here and there. But still, this might be a thin value raise...like I said, my judgement has been off lately.
Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is Button with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, BB calls. Flop: (6 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, BB calls. Turn: (6 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks. River: (6 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB folds, Hero...? Didn't really know it at the time but Villian is pretty passive post-flop. |

Re: Value raise river?
I would just call this down.
Your kicker doesn't even play so you could be behind to a lot of hands. It is bot inconceivable that SB was trying for a c/r on the turn. I think a call is in order here, and just be glad that you won this pot. |

Re: Value raise river?
I don't see any value in this raise except for idiot fold equity when SB folds a small ace.
The busted draws fold, the J either bets the turn or doesn't bet the river, depending on whether SB is aggressive or passive. The 6 is now very scared by the ace and the flop raise. However, the 8 would try for check-raise on the turn, and now it bets when ace comes because it wants to 3bet. This scenario outweighs any gains your raise may bring. |

Re: Results
Those were the conclusions I came to so I called. He had J9d - flush draw and turned Jacks.
