My reads: basically both villains are extremely loose passive.. will showdown with just about any two cards. "Matzlil" likes to c/r strong made hands.



Seat 1: naimulah ($50.20 in chips)
Seat 2: kavehs ($25.45 in chips)
Seat 3: matzlil ($16.35 in chips)
Seat 4: HERO ($41 in chips)
Seat 8: Redles ($25.55 in chips)


ANTES/BLINDS
naimulah posts blind ($0.50), kavehs posts blind ($1).

Dealt to HERO [ AC,AS ]

PRE-FLOP Standard
matzlil calls $1, HERO bets $2, Redles folds, naimulah folds, kavehs calls $1, matzlil calls $1.

FLOP [board cards: 7S,6H,TS ] Standard - a c/r wouldnt work here.. it would probably check round
kavehs checks, matzlil checks, HERO bets $1, kavehs calls $1, matzlil calls $1.

TURN [board cards: 7S,6H,TS,JH ] Now I'm getting edgy - a couple of draws on the board. I'm not sure what I would have done to a raise here.
kavehs checks, matzlil checks, HERO bets $2, kavehs calls $2, matzlil calls $2.

RIVER [board cards: 7S,6H,TS,JH,TH ] Really not sure here, every posible scare card is out. I would have folded to any bet but seeing as it checked round to me I thought I'd go with a bet/fold line here.
kavehs checks, matzlil checks, HERO bets $2, kavehs folds, matzlil calls $2.



River spew?

lets see 89 filled in the turn but that would have raised the turn... 45 missed... the spade draw missed... you now bet things like J6, J7, 67... i think a bet is fine if you get raised obviously you're not folding and you're not 3 betting either so...

I'm guessing matzlil had something like J8, J9?

I agree with your bet. All your opponents have done so far is c/c. If one of them suddenly hit trips or better on the river you'd expect them to bet out in fear that it'd be checked behind on such a scary board.

Another interesting question would be what to do if one of your opponents bets out on this river. I'd be tempted to execute a puke-fold in this case with a relatively small pot against typical opponents.

If you are last to act (am I reading that right) and they've check-called to you all the way, then you should bet out. One of them might be trying for trickiness, but probably not.

It's a win often enough to play it right to the end. If they both raise your bet you might reconsider, but I suspect I'd even do a crying call on a checkraise, if it closed the action (you might win anyways, and it's better than folding to one bet on the river - which will be noticed by any good player).

Then take notes on what they had, to better inform decisions next time around.

Thanks for the replies guys, unfortunately my PO database got corrupted and I lost some HHs during the repair including this one so I cant tell you the results other than that I won the pot.

Really? I think I would have to puke-fold a c/r on the river but I'm not sure if i'd be able to find the discipline to do it in the heat of the moment.

I've never seen anyone c/r this type of board without a flush or FH multiway. Unless i have a clear read that player is capable of an outrageous bluff then i'm usually folding to a c/r on the river.
