Re: $109s - AQ River Snap?
do you have any history with this player? does the average 109er make the call on the river with Ace-high? i think it all comes down to whether he thinks that you think that he thinks you almost certainly have just Ace-high. if that's the average level of thinking for a 109er then I'd probably fold, but if you think he just thinks you have Ace-high, then I'd call. i'd also call if you think that he thinks that you think that he thinks you have Ace-high, but will fold to a bet because you think that he wouldn't bluff there knowing that you think that he thinks you have Ace-high.

Re: $109s - AQ River Snap?
I also will usually bet the turn here. As for the river, it feels like every time I talk myself into calling one of these bets I lose. I play the 55's so that's a bit different but same ballpark anyhow.

I'd fold the river for sure here.

The reason you check the turn is to get him to bet 90-140 chips on the river... right?
Nice work. You raise, he folds. You think "I am the greatest SNG player alive. I sincerely feel sorry for these poor folks. I wonder if I should stay in Thailand for 1 or 2 months." Irieguy |

Add em all up and its an easy chck? |

Re: $109s - AQ River Snap?
Does your flop check really loosen his turn call range that much? I could see many hands folding the turn that are ahead of you myself, maybe I really am too weak-tight? Then again maybe I'm too predictable. In a spot like this I usually figure my opponent has checked twice so he wants to give me the pot, I have pretty much crap myself and with that draw heavy board if he wants to give me the pot now then I'll gladly take it.

Also, if he has a draw like xxh, A9 or KQ, you might as well value bet the turn before you both miss. Maybe your flop check encourages crap like 55 to call you on the turn, but if you check then turn and call the river, it's costing you the same anyway. I'm not saying a check is wrong. It's just not clear to me without a read. Keep in mind that I'm very rusty. |
