Agressive Villian / blocking bet on river
Villian seems VERY aggressive although i have very few hands with him. I'm curious what y'all think of the blocking bet on the end? Does it scream weakness?

Re: Agressive Villian / blocking bet on river
I'd much rather c/c the river against this type of opponent, looks like you have him beat on the turn, let him bluff this river blank.
Also, if you want to blocking bet make a real bet, like $80. |

I don't get the flop. [/ QUOTE ] I decided to take a stab at the pot with what i though might be the best hand. The minraise didn't mean much to me but since i was getting 4-1, had a gutshot, a backdoor flush draw, and 2 overcards (one of which was probably live) i decided to call. What don't you get? |

This really isn't the discussion i want to get into....The fact is i want to see a turn card and i don't like check/calling.....I hated the fact that he bet but i still think i had a call. Do you disagree? |

Do you disagree? [/ QUOTE ] I was just curious, since I wouldn't ever lead this flop vs aggressive guy. Not saying its right or wrong. Obvious call of his min raise. I would check/evaluate river. |

Thoughts and results
I figured villian most likely had a T and would check behind if i bet the river (even though he was aggressive). So i wanted to get some value from my aces. At the same time it was still possible that villian had a monster. I did not want to make a bet that would make me pot commited.
When i bet the river villian pushed instantly and i figured i had an easy fold. Wrong!!! He had 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (no hand / no draw) I agree that i should have just check called this river (but a part of me still likes extracting more value from villian if he has a 10). Keep in mind that i had only played with villian for about 10 hands at this point and although he seemed aggressive i did not yet know he was a lunatic... |

Re: Thoughts and results
against aggro players, dont block bet rivers at all, almost always check-call. he sees your 1/3 pot bet on the river as exactly what it is, a weak bet. he can be pushing with a lot here that you beat.

Re: Agressive Villian / blocking bet on river
Folding to the flop raise seems to be the easiest solution. I don't think you can expect to get paid off when you hit a one-liner to a straight, and you're not sure if you want to hit an A or a J. Villain also has position. In fact, I'm not sure why you even opted to lead into villain. The best I would ever do here is make a very loose check-call.
