Default 999 vs LAG

5 handed, villain is 74/24/1.5 and opens in the cutoff, folds to me in the BB with red nines and I make it three, villain caps and I call.

flop [8.5sb]
9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I bet, he calls

turn [5bb]
6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
I bet, he raises, I 3bet, he caps

river [13bb]
J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

blah, thought board paired on river. Dunno what I do. Probably check/call but I think that is wrong.

I like the bet/call a lot more than check/call.

For the bet/call, if villain raises every time he has a straight, we lose 2 BB. On the other hand, we win 1 BB if he doesn't have it. I'm arbitrarily setting villain folding 10% of the time. I'm not taking into account getting raised by a lesser hand for simplicity. Also I'm assuming villain will raise with a straight, which makes sense.

Let p be the probability of villain holding a straight.

p * (-2BB) + (0.9-p) * (+1BB) + 0.1 * (+0BB) > 0
-2p + 0.9 - 0.9p > 0
0.9 - 2.9p > 0
1 > 2.9p
p > 0.345

Villain needs to have a straight more than 34.5% of the time to make a bet unprofitable. I believe villain will have a straight less than 34.5% of the time, so I bet/call based on the EV calculations.

---

For the check/call, villain is a lag. Does this mean he will bet anything when checked to? I'll set the probabilty of villain betting a lesser hand to 25%, meaning 75% of the time he'll bet when we're beat. I'm unsure on these values I used here, some input would be great.

0.25 * (+1BB) + 0.75 * (-1BB) = -0.5BB

That was easy. Check/calling is -EV if villain is value betting over half the time with a hand that beats us.

This seems to go against the norm of check/call replies, I'll be double checking this.

When we win with check/call we win the whole pot, not just some part of a BB.

I'm evaluating the EV of the river play.

Yes but that doesn't matter. You have to take in account what you win when you win and what you lose when you lose.
