i don't mind a continuation bet here as you're representing AA, AK, or KK.

i might even bet the river but it's likely a way ahead way behind.

I like your line fine.

Read on villain: Aggressive but not crazy. He is raising PF 12.2% of the time but his VP$IP is only 26. However he is not only raising premium hands as he raised with 98s from 4 behind the button earlier. I think he's someone who tries to be tricky sometimes and he seems to be aware of position.

wait for a few more replies, but I think you won this hand.

Interesting hand...

I don't see him checking the flop with a set or AK if hes aggressive, and I don't see him checking behind with those hands or a flush on the river.

I'm guessing he thought you were weak and was hoping he could make you fold by representing an A or a flush, in which case you played good. But that's a very strange bluff by him...

You are out of position which makes a continuation bet very awkward if you get called, so I think checking the flop is fine.

You can't really value bet the river, you'd have to call the push.

Tough hand, I really don't see how else to play it. It seems like every line has it's drawbacks. Your hands are tied by the stack sizes and the flush on the board; value betting isn't comfortable, getting all-in isn't comfortable, and neither is folding.

Five bucks says villain was looking for a cheap showdown with AJ AQ probably with a spade. I lead this river for 1/2 pot every time and call most reasonable raises without a rediculous read.

I'd get it all in on the turn. He doesn't have a flush.

Dommer · #8 09-09-2005, 03:22 AM

It's easy to say he doesn't have a flush after we've seen him check the river. There's no reason to think he doesn't have a flush on the turn.

HIs action isnt consistent with a flush. Obviously seeing the river helps though.

Think about why this is stupid.
