AK - river action?

#1 12-26-2005, 02:23 AM

Villian is 12/9/1.67 after about 30 hands. Is the turn bet standard? Does anybody make the crying call on the river?

UB 2/4 6-handed. Hero is UTG with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Preflop: Hero raises, MP folds, CO 3 bets, folded to hero who caps.

I said to call originally but I think you're good here very rarely. Only AQ or AJ with a heart will 3-bet you and play like this post flop. If every AQ or AJ with a heart played like this then you'd have to call but I think most would just check it through.

yeah you have to let this one go. if he happens to have AQ well I guess you got played but something tells me he's the hind of guy that is going to fold it on the turn.

turn bet I think is good. at least I always bet there

With only 30 hands, your read here isn't gospel, but it appears that AQ isn't likely in villain's 3 betting range IMO. With a more definitive read of villain being more aggressive preflop (say 12+), I'd check call the river.

No turn raise and only 30 hands. Call it down.
