Party 5/10, bet the river or induce a bluff from a L/AG?

SinCityGuy · #1 07-10-2005, 02:06 AM

The main opponent in this hand is a loose/aggressive player. He has been open raising with a very wide range of hands from any position. He usually slows down post-flop if he has nothing, but he's capable of making moves.. The interesting decision here is the river. Should I bet or induce a bluff? (The button is a typical weak/tight multitabler).

My standard line here is to go ahead and bet. However given your player description I really like a check here. Most aggressive players will go ahead and bet hands that you want to call you on the river. It will also induce a bluff some of the time and save a bet when your behind because I dont think you can fold to a raise on the river.

If he has a high WTSD (i.e. will he call with big cards UI?) and you're comfortable with your read, I like a river checkraise.

Check-call against this type of player so you don't get bluff-raised off your hand.

I checked the river, he bet, and I called. He had Q9o for a busted gutshot straight draw and MHWG.
