Default Re: River action against a TAG...

Advocates of checkraising flop,

I don't like a flop C/R becase I don't trust CO to bet this flop all the time. A large part of the time he won't have an ace, which means he needs to bet the flop with 2nd/3rd pair or gutshot draws (no flush or OESD possible) into two opponents. And CO is the only one behind me, so I prefer to just bet this flop. If they call they'll be making a fairly large error in a pot this small.

I prefer a c/r on the flop as well. An aggressive player is probably betting this flop against the two blinds pretty much 100% of the time. As far as picking up the pot goes with nothing, flops don't come much better than A59r.

As for the river, the only hands that make some sort of sense that are beating you are something like KhQh/JhTh. Only other hands i can think of are 22-55, 6h7h/7h8h or something like A4 or 34s or 46s etc. Tough to say how he plays all these, but you're ahead well over half the time.

i'd play it the same because i hate bottom 2 pair. This is wrong - it's from my NL days when bottom 2 can f**k you. You can afford to "slowplay" if the flop c/r whiffs, so give it a try.

Turn and river are fine. A flop bet is not criminal, nh.

Calling that cap is a crying call. One I'd make, but that I think I shouldn't. A9, A5-A2, any 4, and hearts all have you toasted man. Middle two looks like crap.

I don't even know if I like the 3-bet. He's done nothing but call and wakes up when a flush and straight hits?

He has 59 hearts so he also has a flush!

Id play the same. I'd like to think i could 3bet the river but I doubt I could always do it
