Final Pot: $21.75

Hmm...after looking back at the HH, I guess I really did raise $1.15- I think I meant $1.5. Does anyone just push this river? Villan hesitated a long time before calling turn.

I'm checking too...you don't really have enough to push him off a better hand, and only getting a call from a hand that beats you.

I'm also expecting to see 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]'s

I think I'm checking that river too. Villain's hesitation on the turn makes me think he has a lone Q and was afraid of the trip J's. The river just took away his fear.

If I had a read that said villain was aggressive enough to bluff with a busted flush, I think I'd fire a blocking bet on the river. Against an unknown, I'm willing to check/fold.

No way, worse hands fold, better hands call. I hate checking the river tho too. Without a read how do you know he doesn't push his bricked FD when you check? I throw out a 1/3 blocker. No way is it getting raised without a boat, even being that small. I also only bet 1/2 pot on the turn.

Looks okay. No point in pushing the river, only hands that beat you will call. The question is, should we check/fold or check/call a river push?

That's why I advocate a blocking bet and 1/2 pot turn and say the river check is BAD. Only thing you beat is a bluff to a river push and you h ave no idea of his bluff frequency.

I only have $6 by the river. What is your consensus on the river? To c/f or c/c? If I am c/c-ing, I suppose I can pick off a bluff.

I agree pushing would be a bad play here. Its just hard because I have so little by the end.

Edit: Also realize that I have a SS in this game. Since having my first downswing at the 25s, I have been buying in shorter, 2 tabling full rings to try and rebuild my short roll.

1) I would advocated a larger PFR. Raise to $1.50 total.

Flop and turn look good.

2) I check/call and hate it, because I think typical players are too passive to bluff this river, but the pot's too big to fold to a push.

Agreed on the PF. I meant $1.50.
