 Take me to Valuetown? I think NOT!

Villain in this hand is a 21/17, pretty aggressive player. I've seen him make some flop raises that were pure bluffs. He probably views me as pretty aggro. I've never seen him bluff on the river, and i don't think this is ever a bluff.

SB ($239.40)
BB ($413.40)
Hero ($635.90)
MP ($115.20)

Good player with some history

Villain in this hand is TalentedTom. He runs about 20/16, 3-bets a pretty light but a linear range (never seen him 3-bet with sc's). Here are some relevant hands from today with him:

We chatted after the hand, he claimed he had a strong hand and i implied that i was bluffing.

This hand he was definitely pissed off about...

He had KJo no heart

TalentedTom said, "jesus"

And then this happens right after at another table. This is the hand in question:

Hero checks, Button checks.

River: ($194) 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $120, Button raises to $329.55, Hero ????????????.

YOU NIT

Villain in this hand is Jamie217, a straightforward 19/16 TAGG who i almost never see marginally bluff and i find is easy to handle. He definitely does threebet light though, thus i felt the 4-bet was necessary. I had 4-bet him once before a few hands ago OOP and he folded.

hand 1- odds r far too good insta call

hand 2- first, talented tom runs closer to 24/16 or 17. second he is a tight 3bettor and when he calls you OOP ur hand is essentially a bluff- id check behind on flop.

hand 3- TT is owning you haha- on river he never calls your bet with worse fwiw and i think you should probably fold.

hand 4- disaster. bet/call flop and move on WTF WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?!?

max- these r all really really really bad and not even close to marginal

 hand 1: insta call wtf ur getting like 6 to 1
hand 2"I like the line you took as played on the flop, but flop seems like an easy check behind.
hand 3: i dont think talented tom threebets light
hand 4: I was just discussing this hand with ben, it's actually a really easy c/f on the turn, if he checks behind it may be a call to a river bet. He's never vbetting with worse on the turn, if he called the flop with worse its because he was hoping he was ahead if u checked the turn, and therefore doesnt need to bet.
You can't play for stacks here because TT never stacks of with worse.
hand 5: Flop is a bet fold as played, but seriously, you pretty much just turned your hand into a bluff. Jamie is never calling the fourbet with worse, and you can't call a shove pre, so what are you doing?

 Ok, my responses.

Hand 1: the board is AK56T, no flush draws, i'm facing a river bet of $20 in a $100 pot, i have Tx, Do i call because my pot odds? I feel that you guys are ignoring that nothing makes sense here besides a Kx or better (Do you not agree?). QQ is RRing pre, AJ... well it's a slim possibility but only one. Yes, i know this guy doesn't play exactly like me, but from what i saw of him he was solid, just pretty aggro, and i highly highly doubt that he thinks he has any FE here. Yes he needs to be beating me 80% of the time, and as stupid as it may sound i believe that this is the case.

Hand 2: Yeah i understand now why the flop is a check behind.

Hand 3 (according to Sauce, skipping the 97s hand): I agree that i probably should've c/c the river instead of bet/call. It was a hard spot for me because i had seen him river raise after checking behind the turn a lot, and i was pretty sure he was a little semitilted from the last hand.

Hand 4/5 ( Jamie Hand): I don't know what your impression of this guy is Sauce, but from what i know here's how he'd play this. He's probably calling here with preflop AA-JJ, AK, possibly TT. On the flop With TT-JJ he'd check behind the flop, and also with AKo. He may even check behind AK with a FD. He's betting QQ-AA. Maybe i'm giving this guy too little credit, but he is definitely wayyy too nitty postflop for me to want to bet/call. Maybe with your image it is.

max first of all not calling there with aces is just retarded i dont know what else to tell you

second on that hand vs jamie i dont understand why ur 4betting if ur check/folding when he calls. ive never played with this particular player so i cant say whether ur right or wrong but just thinking logically:

1. if u 4bet and he calls u have to check/fold any flop not containing a queen

if this premise is true then im pretty sure 4betting him preflop was your biggest mistake.

u said earlier u thought he had been 3betting a lot- if this is true just 4bet 65s or something not QQ.

 the big problem with the Jamie hand is you fourbet pre which was a really huge leak. On the flop it seems like a pretty easy bet/fold, this guy doesnt get aggro at all, if he shoves we're never ahead. If he tanks and then shoves, i may call because it seems a lot like QQ/JJ.

4-betting was bad, i agree with you and sauce now.

However, since i think he's never floating a crap hand here, and that he'll check behind the flop with everything i'm beating, why shouldn't i check the flop? Against plenty of 2/4 players i bet this flop, but against this guy i think checking will make my hand much easier to play. Not that i think betting the flop would be terrible but i think checking is better even though i'm OOP.
