400nl AK turn decision vs. deep opponent

[dvo352]

Well the bet on the river is a semi-bluff kinda. I think you are right here that if he calls you on the turn you probably are behind and that is the reason for the bet. The draw won't call. But you might be able to take him off his hand with a bet. The raise on the turn is huge. It says "I have a monster." The call there usually means he doesn't WANT to believe you. And thats why I would bet the river, to make him believe me. I mean a check behind is ok too. But I think that a check behind on the river usually ends up you losing the pot. I guess the bet on the river would really depend on your read. Did this guy pick off a lot of river bluffs? Is he more inclined to call or fold here on the river? I think a check behind is the safest route but I don't mind a bet on the river here neither. Either play works for me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
