HU: River Action

[RED FACE]

I didn't think a decent tag would pot bet river w a bluff after that action. I would think either less or more.

This is what makes me think he's bad so I thought you were simply very unlikely to get any call at all but just incase he has a hand min raise.

Given his AK I am suprised he bet so much on the river. I guess once you called the turn he's put you on a weaker A and a river bluff.

A2, A3, 79, 75, 22, AK, 68, or total air most of the time

Why? Clearly a decent tag bluffs this river from time to time-hero has shown no real strength and could be waiting for a big bet to fold.
So given that a TAG is capable of bluffing, what's wrong with a pot-sized bet? What makes you say that this sized bet is never a bluff? It seems like the perfect bluff amount because it's roughly what a big hand should be betting trying to get some value.

[durrrr]

he isnt a decent TAG if he played AK this way imo. That or decent means something different to you than to me. Villain is pretty awful to go broke w/ 22 here.

I thought a value bet in this situ would be much closer to 1/2 the pot but I don't play this high so if it's pretty standard, okay.

after I moved in, he thinks for almost the whole time (which now a days isnt much) and calls with A K .

Do you bet this river if you have AK?

yes

do you call a c/r? hell no

You really would check tptk in that spot hu?

[AZK]

No, I'm just asking, I too want to start learning HU play so I was just curious...seems like you wouldn't want to bet the river against particularly tricky or aggro people...

i'd be more inclined to bet against an aggro player, because he would've shown a little more strength earlier in the hand, and it sure looks like he's trying his best to showdown a weaker hand, no?

villain just made the mistake of calling the c/r all in. Who knows what he's thinking...

I'm sure I've done worse though, you just say, "fuggit, he's making a move on me, I'll make him show me a better hand"
