Paying people off.
I think that this may be what keeps my game from "the next level." In this hand, I am up against a LPP and believe on the flop that he has an ace, and likely better than mine. Is this a fold, and if so, which street.

Re: Paying people off.
How strong is your opponent? If you are planning to put in a bet on the river, I would try bet-fold.
The turn might be fold, but too would have a hard time doing that. You are very likely playing a few outs at least, very likely a few split outs too. Very tough hand, and I think most would feel the same way about this one. However, I am at the same "level" as you, although I am unsure whether it is for these reasons. lars |

Very weak opponent. He is one of the fish, to be sure. The stats on him were like 44/4/.5 of course thats less than 200 hands most likely. I can imagine him just calling with AQ and maybe even AK here PF.

Re: Paying people off.
either do something on the turn or call it down. calling the turn and check/folding the river is horrible in my opinion, and serves no purpose.

Re: Paying people off.
I remember reading a 1800GAMBLER post in which he suggested that it might be correct for him to call the turn and fold the river with his nut-no-pair. This is a little different though. This isn't a tricky opponent. I highly doubt that he raises T8 on the flop. I also doubt he'd bet Ace-no kicker on this "scary" river. He's a fish. A fish who plays very passively, but has raised the flop and bet every street. As Lars pointed out, I may have 3 outs to a win or, after the turn, 4-12 outs to a split pot. Maybe. I think his hand range is 77,99, 79, A7, A9, AK-AT, and possibly A2-A6, A8. The least likely in that group is A2-A6, A8 based on the flop raise and the river bet. I really think I'm calling down hoping to catch a split pot or a miracle T which may or may not be good. The chance that this very passive villian has a hand that falls outside of that hand range is very small. <5%. And of those 5%, 95% of those hands were saved by either the turn or the river. Are you sure that I can't let go of this on the turn or the river.

Re: Paying people off.
If he had AK or AQ (or even AJ), he likely would have reraised pre-flop. So if he has an A, there's a very good chance that your kicker is good. Shouldn't even consider folding the river.
