another slim value bet commerce 20 40

[ShortySaurus]

Villain is a 40 year old korean woman. (I have no idea what that means.....i guess ABC and doesn't bluff) I am CO with A4o. Villain is SB. I have been pretty aggressive as the table is really passive and loose. Anyways, MP limps, I raise, SB calls, BB folds, Limper calls.

Flop is A 9 8

Checked to me, I bet, SB calls, limper folds

Turn 6

Villain check calls

River 7

Villain checks.....and I BET!!!!!!

Who just checks behind? What do you think of the bet?

[mantasm]

I doubt you win >%50 if you're called. Every A has you beat or tied, connectors that paired the flop mostly beat you, straight draws beat you. All you can beat is something like Q9 or J8.

I think the preflop raise is a pretty light too.

Why didn't you muck preflop?

I think you very well may be playing in an alternate universe from me. If that is in fact the case, nice bet.

i don't understand please elaborate?

I'm just referring to your loose assumption that 40 year old Korean might equal ABC doesn't bluff.

Hi Shorty,

It's doubtful that villain will call you down with something that you could beat, like J9 or something. I would definitely check behind on the river, not so much worried about a straight, but your kicker. Your preflop raise seems like a pretty risky play.

yeah, that is one awful read.

i dont see value in choosing to play this hand preflop and i think river is an easy check... if she showed K9, good. whatever.

I think there are too many two pair hands that are scared to bet, too many ace/better kickers that call, too many K8/Q9 that fold for this to be a good value bet.
