River wuss?
Game at this time is fairly tight passive to tight aggressive. There are a few gamblers on the table.
Opponent is average player. Nothing special. What's your move on the river? All comments appreciated.

Re: River wuss?
River looks like a blocking bet from a lone queen. I raise to 200 or whatever amount he's likely to payoff with.

Results and thoughts...
River thoughts:
Am I giving up a lot by not raising this river? He's representing a strong, strong hand on the flop and turn. Stars players have a mini-checkraise tendency on the flop. However, on the turn, I was pretty sure he had a very strong hand. However, his bet on the river was not as strong. To me it meant one of two things: (a) He's begging for a call or (b) His hand has weakened somewhat Let's think about it: He's in the blind. He has basically a random strong hand here. I'm pretty confident he has 2 pair or a set by the turn. If the pairing of the 10s helped him, he's crushed me and lured me into a false sense of security with a small bet. If the pairing of 10s counterfeited him, would he be willing to pay off a raise? Probably not. Extra reinforcement: He's a Stars player, not an average fish. Still I have to ask whether raising has value here. If he goes over the top of me, I'll puke and have to fold. But is he fishy enough to call a 2nd best hand? Am I giving up value. Arg, the agony. I just called, and he showed me a boat. Whew. Right move...this time.

I guess i like raising preflop [/ QUOTE ] AJs (and KQs) are the two borderline hands I'll play from that position, and in most games I play, I open-limp with all hands UTG (or UTG+1). Garland |
