Axo - bet the river?

[imsomoney]

The opponents were calling stations...would you bet out on this flop with no kicker? Should I have bet the river?

I'd bet here.

If these are typical Party calling stations, then they will definitely call with a wide range of hands that you beat, but they won't bet.

Bet the river. They haven't shown you any sign of strength whatsoever.

This is a great value betting opportunity.

Unless your opponent has AT or AQ, it appears very likely you'll do no worse than chop against any other ace that hasn't paired its kicker. And ATs and AQo/s are both raising hands, so you can pretty much put your opponents on hands other than those.

The 3-flush shouldn't be a concern, but even if you're raised and you lose, you'll collect enough from your loose-calling station types to make this bet profitable in the long run.

I think you should consider checking the flop and raise or call or even fold dependent of where a bet came from. If the flop gets checked through then you can lead the turn.

You have an easy value bet on the river.

I disagree. Because the King is on the board as well as the Ace and Hero is in early position its best to bet out first. If raised, then its time to consider a fold. Its better to learn on the flop than on the turn if you might be beat since it will cost you more.

Yeah. Bet the river.

Bet, you most likely split with Ax, but these players may call with less and rarely bluff, so inducing a bluff dont have much value.

when you are out of position with TP hands and you have been giving no resistance, then just bet it. they usually bet anyways if you are beat and dont bet many worse hands. You said they were loose-passive right call stations right?

why does a king on board affect your decision?
