Re: Check raise AK on the River unimproved.
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] c/r the turn, not the river [/ QUOTE ] That's what I was thinking. [/ QUOTE ] And this is because.......? I think the poster should fold the same type of hands on the turn that he will fold on the river. 79o, 7Qo, mabye T4o - a check raise will definately fold alot of weak pair type hands from the poster on both the turn and the river. Anytime hero steals the pot from a weak pair is a big victory. I just called the turn looking for one of my 6 outs. I did not think the LAGGY player had a great hand and the poster -who really knows? A check raise would likely drive him out on both the turn or river. I guess you guys are thinking the turn is a better spot because it doesnt give anybody a chance to hit a cheap card on the river? AK could still be best here. What is the plan for the rest of the hand after a turn check raise? [/ QUOTE ] I would check/call the river. Get him to bluff when you have him beat, save a bet when you don't.

It would give the poster a chance to overcall with a marginal pair and would lose the ENTIRE pot. Check raising gives the hero a chance to show down heads up against villians probable junk. Giving poster the chance to make a BIG mistake - folding any pair here - gives hero a good chance to win a big pot. I am curious why several recomended check raising the turn. The river blank was not an A or K still was a great card for hero here.

Allowing the MP player to stay in would be a big mistake because you could lose the ENTIRE pot. On the river you should check/call. If villian has junk, checking to him will induce a bluff.
