With at least 3 TAGs out of 8 opponents, I'd say you could do better with table selection at the Party 2/4!!

This was far from prime time. But I will try practicing good table selection in the future...

Default Re: 88, river value bet?

As an alternate line I would actually much prefer calling the flop with the plan of raising a blank turn (folding to a 3-bet) and taking a free showdown. I don't like raising the flop because giving the kind of preflop aggresion BB has shown I think we will actually get 3-bet a significant portion of time and don't want to put myself in a position to fold the best hand. A turn raise will elicit a much more honest response IMO.

On to the river. I still think we have a value bet as I can't see a decent TAG (what his numbers point to) checking this river with a set or an over pair given that we have shown no aggresion throughout the hand. I think the 3rd club makes this a little closer, but given that AK will probably call here a large majority of the time we are losing value by not betting.

I think that there are tons of players at the 2/4 level who would have Taggish looking numbers but totally puss out on the river. I think the fact that often we won't get called by AK is also a very important consideration.
