it depends. like i said, angelina and i play alot together.

he can make that turn donk w/o even a hand, nevermind a 6. plus i also raise the turn with goods and bluffs so it keeps it balanced...but for me to do that effectively i should bet the river as clark mentioned.

he is definitely calling you down man.

yea you're right. i thought that at the time he could have maybe folded a 7 with a better kicker, but ex post ante its clearly not happeneing. i should probably adjust my value betting range accordingly.

Yeah you keep saying that, but what hand does he possibly have that includes a lone 7 and a better kicker?

there are many such hands. semibluff donk bets on the turn that can include any # of straight draws, diamond or spade draws i.e. K7dd, K7ss T7ss T7o, lots of those types of hands.

Ok diamond draws I can see, but the 7 isn't going to have paired both of you very often at all. Are gutshots really calling your turn raise?

You're talking about a very very rare occurence when he's got a better 7 than you.

This is a clear value check. Angelina is not calling that turn bet with the intention of folding for one bet on the river and he doesn't bet that turn on a draw either.

[/ QUOTE ]
I disagree about a possible draw being bet. It might be a draw that has improved.
I would bet to get a better 7 to fold. This hand didn't play like a 9 but maybe a weak ace that didn't want you to get away on the flop. I think Ace is less then 50% so I bet plus if my hand was good she doesn't get to see it.

Again I think it's an easy bet because she doesn't play a 9 like this.
She will pay off with the 6 since multiple draws did not get there.

You really need to bet. Giving free showdowns in spots like this is going to ensure that Angelina continues to take shots at you in these headsup situations.

[/ QUOTE ]

I guess I don't understand...isn't it more important whether our bet on the river is going to be a "value" bet and win 50% or more?

After the turn gets raised and called isn't Angelina going to call down with any hand that can win a showdown?

With the board reading A-9-2-6-7, it seems there are more pairs on the board (discounting X2's somewhat) that beat us than we beat. Do you think he will call with enough 33/44/55/Kx/Qx hands to make this a value bet or do you make this bet for metagame/shania reasons?

He's saying that checking behind on a river after raising the turn in these heads up pots significantly discredits turn raise as a bluff tool.

1) Those thinking that she called the flop in order to take a shot on the turn are wrong. She might do it sometimes, but she called mostly as a drawing hand and as a possible currently winning hand. Most of the time, she will check fold the turn unimproved.
2) She will call the river with any pair because board is heavily drawy, 7 completes straight draws but there are still diamonds out there plus a possible pure bluff.
3) She would put more action on the turn on this drawy board if she had a draw or at least top pair, because on one hand she wants to put the last bet on the river with a draw because there is a fair chance both people are drawing, on the other hand, with any good hands, she wants to make people pay heavily for the privilege of drawing.

This was my reaction as well when I read this. Don't forget that he both has to have a better 7, AND he has to fold it! This won't effect the decision unless it is already extremely close, which it doesn't seem to be.

my 2 cents.
