Check-fold the river. I think betting here is -EV.

I felt I had a very good chance of winning with this bet. At least a good enough chance to bet it. If you didn't know my hand, what would you put me on given how I played it? What are the opponents seeing when I bet here?

btw...the only one Im really worried about folding is the button. If he folds, My chances go up quite a bit that now my pair might be good.

I agree with Adam's reasoning that the flop should be raised. As for me, I most likely would have checked the river... but river play is something I've been working on so maybe a bet is best. I'm not sure about that.

hrmmm

i think on flop.. either fold or raise.. i personally like raise... it mite drive out button... if he 3-bets you then you can start to worry...

i don't understand the call on the turn either... looks like u'd be getting about 7:1 to call... doens't seem like enough w/ an overcard and a gutshot w/ a 2-flush on board...

I agree with the flop raise cause this was raised preflop. I don't think that the button (with no strong read) would bluff this flop just on position making the river -EV. If UTG is gonna bet and u already called... buttons raise doesnt expect to scare people out and at least means a jack or a stonger draw than you have.

Checking the river, you lose this hand, imo. Look at the board and how it was played by all players from preflop on. There is a really good bluff spot presenting itself on the river here.

Note: I wouldn't have just bet on any card hitting the river.

also ur runner runner straight draw is pretty much worthless with a potential flush draw out there. and this takes away from ur ace pairing as well.

Your forgetting that many, many players will play 1 main hand like I did. Even though they should also raise that hand on the flop, many won't. This was my thought instantly when the river card hit.

When he bets the turn, it's unlikely the button is drawing. So I put him on a J. Now, what hands is he reasonably putting me on, that most players would play this way, when I call his turn bet?

If I had raised the flop and got it HU with UTG just calling, there'd be a decent chance I still had the best hand and that an A would be good if it hit.

I think this is the easiest part of the postflop play. You can easily release it for a raise, and most opponents will have a hard time calling w/o better than a pair.
