Re: close (meaningless?) river decision...
On the river I would certainly think that a 1.2 AF is capable of betting AK et all on the flop/turn. Showing this down, without any further info, is probably a must. Without any other info on the villian, I'd probably check/call and let him bet his nothing again. If I know he won't raise with a hand thats worse than mine, but will call with hands that are I'd lead the river. Against an unknown, however, i'm just checking and calling.
I think its important to note, however, that your flop cold call looks a lot like a flush draw (fancy that). Whether or not that would effect villians river betting strategy I can't say, but its probably worth considering. I like the rest of the hand. With the ultra L/P in their I doubt you're taking this pot down without improving, you may as well let him hang around. I think I find a fold preflop though, too tight? lf |

the river choice imo is between betting and c'ring.

[/ QUOTE ] I havnt read anything past this post in this thread so excuse me if what i am saying has already been said or already disproved (though I somewhat doubt the latter). A checkraise is a legitmate line, his hand looks very much like a flushdraw at this point and a checkraise on the river could be called frequently enough by AK (not to mention a 7 or a 5) purely because it "must" be a bluff. To take this action you must be very confident that your opponent will simply comply and call down or fold. A reraise by a worse hand that cost you the pot would be devistating. -Brad |

He'd have to be a lot worse than his stats indiciate to call the river raise with anything that doesn't beat your hand. I just don't see the 2nd bet being +EV if you put it in first. Now, if you bet, and he raises, calling that 2nd bet might be +EV if he's capable of bluff raising. But you said he was a 1.2 right? thats not exactly maniacal. FWIW, I don't think he ever folds a better hand to a c/r. lf |
