River...
Party Poker 10/20 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter
Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. MP posts a blind of $10. CO posts a blind of $10. <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO (poster) 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, CO calls. Flop: (10.50 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, CO calls. Turn: (6.25 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Hero calls. River: (10.25 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Villian is reasonable. In the hand I accidently chose the correct play. I'm posting to verify. Please post thoughts since betting or checkraising is not a simple decision. Krishan |

Re: River...
Basically in order for the villain, if he is indeed decent, to bet this river I think he'd need at minimum TPGK. So QK is about the bottom of the range imo. He's obviously going to bet the river with a flush or overpair as well.
He'd raise the turn with AK, 88-TT, AQ/QK, QQ, KK, AA, or a big flush draw. The ones he wouldn't bet the river with are probably 88/99/TT/AK. He will bet the river with KK/AA/AQ/QK. Now another important question would be if you do lead into him what hands does he have to have in order for you to get a 3 bet in? Pretty much, just a flush. (Not counting QQ which you obviously lose to). Seeing as how there are a lot of hands he's checking behind on the river with, I think the guaranteed 1 bet with a possible 3 bet is going to be much better here than hopefully 2 bets but maybe nothing. I lead this river. |

Re: River...
Given the preflop cap and the decision for CO to wait until the turn to raise I think he has atleast top pair, but with the flush being completed leading probably just gets called, I would CR because a 7 will probably 3-bet and then you can cap.

Villian is reasonable [/ QUOTE ] He's a poster, so I assume you've played against him before. I think more precise reads are needed to make this hand more interesting. Otherwise, I'd say just bet and 3bet. I'd hate to see this checked through. I don't think he'll bet a 7, TT, 99, 88, overpair, AQ, KQ for you when the third spade comes on the river. If he made flush, he'll probably raise you allowing you to 3bet. |

This raise is either a free showdown raise with a weak hand or a wait till turn to extract value with a strong hand. Against these two types of hands (which dominates villian's range) leading is superior to a check raise because you will often get to 3-bet when he has a strong hand and he may crying call with a weak one. Anything substantial I'm missing? Krishan |

Re: River...
i think the correct play is certainly checkraise, but bet/3betting is a somewhat close second. with the board completing a flush and putting up a J as a scare card i dont think youll get raised that often by KK or AA. a good player isnt going to donk the river with something that cant beat those hands unless he intends to fold to a raise. you lose 4 bets when against QQ by 3betting and you lose 3bets when against QQ by checkraising.

Re: River...
its much closer without the flush card, but i wouldnt do it without reads or stats. if villain has 2.4AF or higher than i bet/3bet. of course that varies depending on his vpip but assume 2.4AF for a 27VPIP type guy.
