200NL River decision with a set

[RiverFenix]

I dont think a 5 is in his range unless he is playing 55... Besides, a 5 probably raises the turn.

9 is likely, but not likely enough that Im going to be shutting down on this river.

Do you think villain's calling range is as wide or wider than his bluffing range?

I think villain's bluffing range here is zero. No way this type of player bluffs at that board. If he was calling he has a hand that he wants to showdown.

Check/calling is your worst option (Check/fold is next, followed by a blocker). I think the way you played this hand will lose you the least amount of money when you are behind which is an important consideration when you have a hand that you want to show down on a scary board.

Results

Villain shows 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for flopped two pair. I was very surprised by a couple things:

1) I never heard a raise from him. I'm not sure why, perhaps he wanted to wait for a safe turn, but then felt his hand was too good against my range (I'VE GOT 2 PURR, NO WAY I'M FOLDING!!11) But I didn't expect that from a "tag"

2) I'm surprised he called my river bet. All he beats is a busted flush draw. I had been playing draws aggressively (got AI with bottom pair + OESFD draw that didn't get there on another table a few hands ago). Maybe he noticed but perhaps unlikely.

Oh well.
