make a blocking bet on the river

[Supern]

How much should I bet as a blocking bet?
And what do I do if he raises?
He only have 8 left.

blocking bets are for usually about 1/2 the pot, and you would fold to a raise.

I don't think a blocking bet is much good on the river. The pot is $24.36 - a blocking bet of $5 isn't going to do anything. Check/calling is fine - this will pick up busted draws. I'm not sold you're ahead, but probably often enough to call.

That guy is re-opening the betting for you on the flop. Use that to your advantage. Re-raise the other guy who called your initial $3.

When I played the hand I had no read on main villain.
But I later figured out that he was very loose passive.

Could have used that knowledge when I played this AA becaue he showed me 85s (two pairs on the flop and boat on the river) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I really don't like to be called both on the flop and the turn with overpairs. But I thought he may have a set, KK-JJ or 77 for the straight draw. When he pushed on the river I knew it probably was a set or an overpair.

Good I hate to be oop.

* Is there an option to check turn after being called on the flop oop with AA ever?

* What about betting 1/2 pot on both the flop and turn with overpairs oop?
Anyone tried that?
That means you commit less chips and they still don't get good odds to chase.

Just because someone calls you on the flop when you have AA doesnt mean you are behind. Someone playing a passive top pair will probably just call you down throughout the hand.
