What's the purpose of the c/r on the river? What hand did you put CO on that was good enough to bet and call a raise with but not good enough to win? I think that would only happen with a weaker A, but I don't see how you could come to that conclusion given the previous action.

I would bet out on the river.

In this hand, your opponent has to fall into one of these categories:

1) Figured his Ax was ahead and raised the flop, saw your 3-bet and capped it anyway (capping is fun!) but felt he may be behind and checked the turn.

2) Figured the only way he was going to win any more money was to let you bluff at it.

If you had played enough with this guy and had a good read on him such as a LAG or poor post-flop player or something, well done. That seems to be the case given he only called your river C/R, although he could just be an erratic donk.

I'd be careful of doing this against most players.

two more categories for you:

3) He was pumping a flush draw on the flop or was bluffing and decided to give up on the turn.
4) He has K7 and is one of those people who decide to slowplay once they fill up.

he played his hand like a big draw like JsTs or something, and so those hands aren't calling the river, but might bluff if checked to. this is why i think a CR works here. was that your line of thinking?

Then why not check/call?

because it's not always a busted draw. he'll still get a call from a worse ace or other worse hands sometimes, so there's some overlay.

Ok so its either a bad ace, a king, or a big draw. Why not bet/fold the turn then? How often are you going to get raised again by a hand like J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the turn?
