$3/6. AA check

[barongreenback]

If this is obvious a quick yay or nay will do.
Villain has big stack and has just pulled some big bluffs. He's loose so far and seems to be enjoying himself (often fatal I find). I don't know whether he's bad though.

$3/6 full. 7 handed

2 limps + poster in CO, SB(covers) completes, hero ($630) raises to $41 with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Only SB calls.

Flop 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (pot = $100)
Hero bets $60 ,SB calls.

Turn 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] pot = $220
Hero bets $150, SB calls.

River 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] pot = $520
Hero pushes $380

Main question is river but also bet sizes on flop and turn.

Thanks

I'm betting the pot on the flop and turn...

I'd bet slightly more, but it's the same idea. I don't mind getting thoroughly committed on the turn, I don't see a problem.

What do you put villian on here? Something like 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 10x?

What are you putting him on? It seems that you're allowing him to play his hand well - he'll probably almost always fold KK, QQ, JJ, TT, but he'll call you with any made flush, boat. Maybe you apply some pressure to a lower flush, but what is he supposed to put you on - quad 9s that pushes??? The $41 raise rules out 6s or 5s. Tell me if my thinking is off, but I feel that you've defined your exact hand from the get go and if he's at all decent he should know what to do on the river.

villain is loose

we have a nice redraw

no im not expecting him to fold any kind of flush

aces with the nut redraw is too strong on that board to be scared and folding, against a loosey gambler

Slightly larger bets makes it a lot harder for him to get away from QQ or the like on the river, whila making only a subtle difference in folding equity on earlier streets.

River push is good, you lose value against JJ and TT by checking, and you can't check/fold. Checkraising the turn is an option, but inferior IMO, he might well get away from an overpair then.

[barongreenback]

I've just realised I made a mistake in the OP. I have position and he check called flop and turn and checked river. Pretty important, I know.

[emil3000]

This makes it a supereasy valuepush on the river.

Also I should have noticed he is SB.

[swolfe]

he checks to you on all 3 streets, so i think it's fine. sometimes i'll check behind on the river...top pair just tripped up. if you think he was calling down with less than that (or an overpair), then the push is good.
