Interesting hand between me and another 2+2

Great, 2 posts.

One can't read the hand. Can't C/R turn when it's checked through.

Regardless of whether I can read or not; I think you missed the important part of my post:

Btw, I forgot to mention that donk usually bets when she hits her hand.

Also, the TAG would never check the turn with TT+. So I put him on AK.

Does the river bet make sense now?


Honestly, the pot is 10BB, you don't think it's worth 1 to try to win it if you think TAG has AK and donk misses?

Seriously, you're never winning the pot if you check the river so why not bet it?

With the additional information you give about the donk, you're 2+2 friend's call is pretty easy. If however, the donk could have checked the turn with a pair, your friend's call becomes a lot harder. Now he only needs to catch a bluff from you 1:10 because he knows he has the donk beat.

[censored], it's a pretty easy decision at the end of the day. If you think both fold >10%, bet.
IMO. Based on the information, I don't see this being the case and I think you could have saved yourself 3BB on this hand.

So turn this around. You, also a TAG, raised preflop and called 2 coming back. What can he put you on? 99-AA and AK-AQ, KQs and possibly AJs.

You did not checkraise the flop or bet the turn so he can eliminate 99-AA which leaves AK-AQ, KQs and AJs most likely and he's chopping w/ AK and winning against the rest.

So no, the river bet does not make much sense to me. Why would he fold to your river bet? What could you possibly have?

If you intend to win this pot, you really needed to raise the flop and lead the turn.
