Is This A Leak Or Standard?
$33 Stars Blinds 50/100, 7 Players, Hero approx 3000, Villan approx 3500.
Dealt to Hero AK Villan UTG raise to 200 Hero calls mid-position. All others fold. Flop A,Q,7, Rainbow Villan checks,Hero 275, Villan Calls. Turn 4 (completes rainbow) Villan checks, Hero 400, Villan Calls. River 8 Villan checks, Hero? My tendency is to check behind here, thinking that a caller will be beating tptk and hating a re-raise... Is this standard or a bit weas, as villan has shown no strength throughout the hand? |

[/ QUOTE ] Put yourself in Villains shoes for a second... if he really had a monster it's unlikely he'd check the river unless he's getting really fancy. He'd want to extract maximum value from a monster and checking the river doesn't necessarily achieve that. If he had bet the river i would only call, but since he's checked, i'm betting here and making him pay for getting involved in a hand with Ace-inferior kicker. |

Hero calls, Villain flips AJ/AT?

Re: Is This A Leak Or Standard?
I tend to check behind in these positions, I'm really not keen on getting bluffed out when i have a good stack and a nice pot that looks like it's coming my way.

I would however have got more chips in the pot at some point before the river.

Re: Is This A Leak Or Standard?
I think checking behind on the river is pretty standard.
I would generally bet, as I think an inferior hand will call a reasonable bet often enough. But, like Lorinda, I would probably have put more money in the pot earlier. |
