Villain is twomountains who is running like 20/15/3 over 75 hands. He seems like a reg although i've never seen him and he's not spewy so far. I think he will almost never bluff the river when checked to.

I'm running looser than normal but i haven't showed down any bluffs or anything.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Full Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button ($177)
Hero ($231.65)
BB ($73)
UTG ($236.80)
MP ($593.35)
CO ($200)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A, J.
2 folds, CO raises to $7, 1 fold, Hero raises to $26, 1 fold, CO calls $18.

Flop: ($53) 7, 3, 3 (2 players)
Hero bets $38, CO calls $38.

Turn: ($129) 6 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks.

River: ($129) A (2 players)

bet/folds? about $80?
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

Why are you considering c/f instead of b/f? He has to occasionally call with worse here.

Hmm is definitely bet/fold river but what size depends on villian. probably go within 50-100.

yeah but i dont really see what he has that beats you besides something like AQ diamonds.
to me it looks like he has a pocket pair that didnt hit a set and hes playing it passively. might as well make a value bet i can see him calling down with something like 88.

Bet/folds is much better because your hand is extremely transparent. You often get looked up by worse but you are never raised with worse.

Your looking for value against pairs. river is also a good scare card to bluff so maybe opp will call with PPs. Only thing im thinking of is whats the best bet size given we will rarely be raised.

I'd be surprised if he raised it with any A except AK. I don't think he has any A besides AK-AQ anyway.

Can someone please name a hand that calls that's worse than mine? I don't think he calls with TT but maybe JJ-QQ... And he may never play JJ-QQ like this.

If you check he probably thinks you have nothing, and if he has a medium pair say 88, he will check as he probably thinks he is ahead and there is no value in betting it, he might bet a missed flush draw but apart from that I dont think he is betting anything you have beat, so I think C/F could be good depending on how often you think he is betting a missed flush draw here.

If you bet, I dont think he will call often with a worse hand as your hand looks exactly like it is. You may be able to get him to call a really small bet, say $40 or something. If he raises ask yourself if he thinks you are capable of folding an AK here as that is probably what he will put you on, the answer is probably no - so a fold is best.

I kinda like the idea of betting 114 because you'd probably bet less with an Ace.

So lets say given a perfect calculation we come to the conclusion that a bet in a vacuum is just slightly -EV. Do we still bet because of game theory?

Anything around a PSB reeks of an Ace IMO. It's like the cheapest trick in the value levelling book. I like a standard 2/3 pot.

unless you think he will be thinking another level up?

ISF: Surely if we check it protects our bluffs better from a game theory perspective?

That's my question, so the non vacuum concepts, which is assume is mostly game theory, makes up for sub par value right?

On the 1st level, i would interpret a big bet as either a missed flush or a full house. I think a smaller bet really narrows our range to only A-x, as it seems like it is obviously for value.

Considering that we should probably be thinking on the first level in this hand, when we actually have a medium strength hand we should either 1). bet really small and force our opponent to call getting >1,000,000:1 pot odds or 2). make a close to PSB bet when we don't think our opponent will almost always fold a weaker hand. We don't have close to 100% fold equity considering there is no implied threat of bets on later streets, and our range does include some air (i.e. K-4s).

We'' if we have the ace and we bet and it's -EV then we lose $, what do we gain? Only positive thing is maybe we get a bit more value on our full houses in the same spot.

On the other hand if we check then we save the EV and it adds weight to the times we bluff in this spot, hence pushing up our overall EV of all our balanced range. Checking balances our range in a more +EV way aswell as saving us immediate EV from this hand in a vaccum.

lol that made 0 sense.

at lower stakes, where there's a bazillion players, do you think it's close enough to playing in a vacuum?
i'd just bet $40 unless my image is more aggressive...i do get the "balancing bluffs thing" but doubt that's worth it here.

i like the check call to gain value on bluffs. I don't think you can fold here though.
