My boat just turned into K-high! River play?

[HoldEmKillah]

Villian is new to the table so no read. Just shove the river and pray he doesn't have an ace? check/fold? urg!

Also, the turn is interesting...what's the best turn line?

I would bet, bet, bet. He doesn't have an ace. If anything, the river should be a check/call to snap off a bluff.

[kongo_totte]

Check-call. He is not likely calling a bet with a hand you beat.

[crosse91]

really, anything other than fold, although i perfer check-call. Villian has about 65-70 left into a 165 dollar pot, check-call or check-raise should be a good way to get that in there.

Isn't A-J a logical hand for villian to be holding here?

I think A J would have raise PF.

[crosse91]

oh 6-max.....right...

[TheWorstPlayer]

he probably has QJ or 77. Something like that.

[HoldEmKillah]

I panic-pushed. He called with KJ...chop chop. Yeah a check-call is much better. Like I said I paniced.

Anyway, on the turn why is a bet here better than c/r? If I check he will DEFINITELY bet his jack whereby I can raise and build the pot so he's committed to my river push. If he has 77 - 10 10 then he'll likely fold if I bet again so if I check, he'll check behind but will likely call my value bet on the river.

Thoughts?

[TheWorstPlayer]

Why would he bet his J? To protect in case an ace or queen falls? Blah. He'll check his J and you'll lose value.

Edit: Also, there was another recent thread where I said someone would call in this situation with a K. Hahaha. I rule!

If I bet the flop it looks like a CB bet with AK/AQ if I check the turn doesn't it? If that's how he looks at it I'm sure he'd like to protect his hand.
