KQo. PARTY 1/2. RIVER.

[DonCaspero]

If he has an ace and didn't raise the turn, he's probably not going to raise the river either. If he has the flush his turn indecision may indicate that he's somewhat scared of your hand, and will probably not raise. A full house would probably not check raise this river, because there is no evidence you have the flush, so that card may scare you into checking behind. So I think it's a bet. He calls with worse kings. A lot of "probably's" though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If he raises I don't like it, but against a complete stranger getting 8:1 I think it's a call.

ok, i agree w/ everything in this post.

i bet the river, he paused and then raised! fvck.
i folded, but i think i folded cause i wouldve felt like such a sucker here putting in 2 bets on the river w/ just a K (as opposed to a bad A).
i basically had to force my self to hit fold and felt kinda bad about it right afterwards. i think paying it off mgihtve been best.

I think you'd be good here 0% of the time. Especially if he thinks you're aggressive, this is how he'd extract the max with trips (or top boat). If he's uber-tricky it could be a bluff, but I would say this isn't the spot to prove that theory, as he seems to know you haven't got a better Ax hand.
