These guys think on another level but why did david check call the entire way. Couldn't he of atleast raised the river a little bit. I mean it couldn't hurt.

i dont think anyone on FTR will be able to say anything but he played it right within the context of the HU match, what context that is idk, he probably thought check/call had the most value on the flop and there was no value in c/r the river.

Only thing I can think of, given they seem to have just started, was if he c/r the river then Aba is only folding worse hands or coming over the top repping AT/JT and putting him to a tougher decision or he could just call and get an early feel for what sort of playing mood Aba's in by seeing what he was raising and leading out with.

Or I could be totally wrong as usual Very Happy

i only saw 26 hands but david seemed to hardly ever raise. He would either fold or call. Over those 26 hands almost 200k traded hands. Most people don't even make that in a year.

It would behoove you to uninstall FT if you don't play on it and rather concentrate on your own game.

he's not making a river raise because he isn't getting called by a worse hand, but he could lose a lot to a better hand. but this is way above my league

I defintely think David should have raised to get value from an A here. Im not sure why he just flat called.
