ya or nay on the river

Absolute 2/4 6max 25/17 opens UTG, 1 CC, 1 3bet TT on the button and the SB comes along. So 4 to the flop. Comes Q45 checked to me, I bet and all call. Turn is a 9, checked to me and I bet and only the PFR calls. River is a 6 and I check behind. Weak? Do I need to bet this? How often do I see JJ/KQ/AQ vs AK (calling river bet) and lower PP that didn't hit the board?

Reads are better than stats.

Generically, I like betting the turn and I like checking behind on the river.

how are you giving this guy A9/AT/AJ/KJ? base the range on preflop and flop action. should we assume this guy is bad enough to check call an A-high hand that isn't AK (and he didn't cap preflop, so AK is unlikely to begin with)?

You asked for a range, I gave a range. I have seen more than a few ok pf guy checks and call with ace high here because the pot is big and they like the two pretty faces. Maybe he has a backdoor flush draw. He certainly doesn't have the queen or he would have checkraised the flop or just led out. What range do you have him on?

not to mention there's a guy who coldcalled preflop and another one who called 2.5 bets out of the small blind, and they ALL called your flop bet on a Q45 rainbow board

[/ QUOTE ] any lower pair, A4s, A5s, K4s, K5s, backdoor flush draws, and even some backdoor straight draws are calling for one bet in a large pot. EP coldcallers are weak postflop when they miss. I'd not be surprised to see a very wide range of hands here.

Big pot. Ace high. Must call. glub glub.

I mean think about it. What hands would you coldcall with, check call this flop, and then check fold the turn? what range is that? It's fish range!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
