Bet, Check, Bet

80-160 on the World Wide Web. I have 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the BB. One aggressive MP limper, SB calls and I check. Flop is 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB checks, I bet and only the limper calls. Turn is the K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I check, he bets and I call. The river is the 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I bet.

Comments?

I think your turn line is ok. Betting and inducing a bluff raise from an overagro guy isn't the worst. Neither is inducing a dumb 1 bet bluff...or not getting popped by a better hand...it's all close and probably doesn't matter. Overaggros don't check behind a ton but he could easily have 6 outs here and you want money goin in.

Given the check call the river bet would have been better IMO if it didn't pair the 5. If it was like a 2 or something I'd like it better. The reason is the 5 is another pair card he could call the river with you know? So I think I like another check call.

I take it you're calling a river raise and hating life?

didnt see the river 5 paired the board....

I like a check call on the river, IMO.

I thought the 5 is a good card for him, because the blinds are far more likely to have a 5 than the limper. And so he is unlikely to get raised on the river, because he is now representing trips. So if he knows the opponent he can bet the river and is unlikely to get raised by hands like Kx. Course a real aggressive limper might raise on the river as a pure bluff so you have to know your opponent.

his bet on the end does not signify trip 5's. at least not to me cause most people would try and c/r that on the end. plus if you thought your 9 was good then why not check and induce a bluff? or are you hoping he calls with a 6?

I was thinking the 5 is a good card to bet the river on because we can fold to a raise against most opponents.

But you are probably right, we don't beat a lot of hands so we should probably check and try to pick off bluff against this player.

Really? I don't like it. If I checked here, it would be because I my opponent's tendancies make me think that a checkraise is justified. Otherwise I'm betting.

Planning to call a turn raise and a river bet?

given villain's description, is he open-limping a hand that would have overs on that board?

Seems normal enough. I think he shows a busted flush draw here and folds the river, or calls you down with a hand like 67 or 98. I can't see him having A9 since he limped. Kind of a awkward hand OOP in an unraised pot.
