My only comment right now is i was multi tabling and did not mean to check the flop. Everything else was 100 percent on purpose.

...I'm confused. You're holding A high and wondering if you should call the river shove? It's Friday, and I may be drunk, but am I missing something here?

Easy fold. Villain has you beat with anything, especially any AQ QJ Q10 or even 79 J9 that might be in his I-Dont-Play-Full-Stacked-Cause-Im-A-Donk range.

Im guessing you called and beat him and I think this is a bluff sometimes v micro stakes players i've seen similar things but not often enough to call ESP v an unknown so I fold.

. This is a pretty easy call. honestly surprised that so many of you say to fold. look at it this way villain is either betting a made hand or busted draw. with the exception of paired Qs what made hands is he betting?

Well AQ is possible but is villain really gonna call the turn with no draw? The only AQ i fear is AdQd. QJ is a little more believable though as it gives him a str8 draw on the turn.

Ok ty for all your replies. Even though i disagree with most i appreciate them just the same. When he open shoved the river my first instinct was to fold. Then i got to thinking what is he betting. I narrowed his range to paired qs + and busted draws. I called and he had a busted flush draw.

Dude you are aware that you must have at least 35% equity to make this call break even, right?

Say he pushes with straights, sets, 2pair hands with Q, busted flush draws with Qd and unpaired busted flush draws. Lets count;

Str8s with 97 (12 combos)
Str8s with J9 (16 combos)
Sets (15 combos)
Two Pairs with Q (36 combos)
Busted flush draws width Qd (excluding 2pr ones) (7 combos)
Unpaired busted flush draws (21 combos)

He pushes total 107 combos. 21 / 107 = ~20%

Since 35 > 20, no need to be surprised when people say it is a fold.

By the way,

Exactly what set is he gonna show up with here ? If he flopped a set sure he may check the flop with his hand but most 2nl players do not have the patience to slow play 2 streets when they are not getting action. Sure he could of had a set of 8s on the turn. My problem with that is i showed aggression on the turn so he would have no need to lead out on the river. A set of Qs is also hard to believe.

Unless the guy is an uber nit Qs would have raised long before the river. When he insta shoves the river to me he is saying please fold mister. If we put him on a range AK-a2 suited diamonds and AQo and kq-kts and jt-j7 suited and J(/J& off . Then add suited connectors 34-t9. To finish his range we add 75 off. Then we estimate that he is only ever betting top pair plus and busted flush and str8 draws our equity is 49.3 according stoxev
Pretty sure that is more then 35.

Sorry for got about QT/Q6/Q8 suited and off. our equity then drops to 43 percent

not c-betting the flop is pretty bad.
if it's a mis-click then you probably shouldn't even be posting the hand.
calling this river would be really bad. Villain limp-called pre. Suited hands in his l-c range are dominated by Axs hands. You hold Ad so he can't have Adxd, so there are not very many flush draws in his range.

making river calls like this is a good way to stay a 2nl-er-for-life.

also curious about a couple more things:
1 - multi-tabling. How many tables? this is fine, so long as you aren't making misclick mistakes left right and centre
2 - stack size. What's your game here? are you a 65bb player? 100bb player? something else? i'm curious.

So you say the guy is unknown but for whatever reason you know how that particular unknown plays his nut hands and busted draws etc.

Simply to start a discussion that reading betting patterns can sometimes turn what may seem to be a bad call into a good call. I have few hands on villain so i just assigned a general 2nl player betting pattern to him. We can pretty much ignore him having floped a set. Your average 2nl player is never going to take villains line with a flopped set. His line is typical of a busted draw.

list his possible hand combinations. Count them.
e.g. AQ 9x, KdJd, .....
see how good your call looks in this context.
Stop being blinded by results and instead count the combos to see if your play was actually any good.

and answer the questions from my previous post

Snapping off a bluff with A high with a bad kicker is just bad. OP in order to profitably snap off bluffs, you have to at least be ahead of hands that villain may be turning into a bluff. 2NL players take all kinds of weird lines. Listen to the replies ITT as many of these people are posting from experience. Hell I could take a $50 roll at 2NL and be rolled up for 5NL in like 5 hours tops can you? If you could, you wouldn't be buying in short and you would realize that making hero calls at 2NL is -EV.

How do you have so many posts here and still be so ignorant to what others are saying? Looks to me like you posted this hand looking for approval more than anything. It makes absolutely no sense to post hand, presumably for the purpose to get help/advice, and then go against the entire consensus that says fold, and say no I call cuz I know better than all of you.

Please remove 66/tt/22 from his range. Honestly i think your range is off because few 2nl players are gonna play a flopped set that way. I think we can also remove a set of queens. Very few people set hunt with QS.

We are coming to different conclusions because you are including hands in his range that frankly i am not including

OK. Lets form another range then. Since you are the one who is playing against this particular villain, we have to form a range on your reads. But still, I insist that this is a contradiction to your OP where you said the guy is an unknown.

Busted FDs (I made a mistake in my previous post counting these since J9dd and 97dd are str8s now...)
Busted FDs (19 combos)

Pairs
Qxdd one pair hands (7 combos)

2 Pairs (Lets not include the ones he may have before the turn)
QT(9), Q8(9), Q2dd(1), T8(9), 86s(3) (31 combos)

Sets
only 88 as you said (3 combos)

Str8s
J9 (16 combos)
97 (12 combos)

There are 88 combos total... 19/88 = ~21.6 < 35 and this is the tightest range that i can come up with. You still need to drop 34 hands from his made hands for this call to be break even. In other words if you exclude all 2prs and sets from his range (34 combos) this call is still -EV (after rake)...

Actually you don't need to count anything while you play. This situation is soooooo obvious.

Yes he is unknown but against an unknown i assume they play like the typical 2nl player. i only have a little over 30 k hands at ub 2nl. In those hands i have never seen a villain flop a set and check to the river. So i assumed that this one wasn't doing it either.

You are seriously posting an A high hero call where you were massively multitabling and have zero reads on villians tendencies and frequencies as a hand reading example?

I'm not playing against his range i'm playing against the average 2nl range and betting pattern. Until they show otherwise i just assume unknowns are typical 2nl players.

didnt read any other posts in this thread. as they appear long and are probably fairly crappy for this type of hand.

betting on turn is bad, u shud be looking to go to showdown when flop is checked.

In my experience at 2NL, villian is showing up with something here more often than not.

A few hands that beat you that are in your opponent's range a considerable amount of the time: QdXd, Q2, Q6, Q8, 86, 82. Typical 2nl Villains aren't shoving two diamonds that miss here.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

lol, you really think that villain can show up with 7c5c here?
you gotta be making this post in jest

limiting the suited combos to the diamond hands - and you are an optimistic 10%. See how dumb the call is now?

but., meh, you're probably right and everyone else is wrong. Keep calling river shoves with A high, but deposit a bunch of money first, move up to 100nl on FT and pm me your sig. Cheers.

This is what we refer to as an overly optimistic range. If Villains were just shoving the river all the time with whatever hand they had, then you could set up a low SPR preflop, then just check until they bet and call with probably King high or better. But you can't, so welcome to irl. Basically you're saying that he'll never play a set like this but he'll always play 32s like this, both of which aren't quite right.

When i say range i mean post flop hand ranges. So i put hands in ps that fit into my post flop view of how most 2nl players play .
Ok my ps kept crashing and i forgot to include the board cards. So i'm sure a bunch of people are flaming me for not including them. I will re post later.

ok since we can't agree on ranges i ran a few test useing stoxev. Frankly a superior product to ps. I cost like $80 though. So i only have the free version works the same but limits the tree size.

We will be adding suited connectors to all ranges. If we say vill flat calls raises 10 percent of the time, Then add the stip that he is only betting atleast top pair or busted flush and str8 draws the call is -.14. Now lets see what happens if we remove AA and KK. The call becomes -.10. Now lets say villain is never or rarely playing a set this way then our ev jumps to +.7. We don't need to worry about flopped 2 pair because a 10 percent cpfr player is never going to flop 2 pair in this spot

I will plug in different ranges later because as villain becomes looser well that makes more queens that can beat us
