100nl - How's my line?

    Default 100nl - How's my line?

    Not sure if I really like it that much..

    Villain is a random unknown, probably not very competent given his stack size.

    I c/c the turn since I'm WA/WB and can get value from air by doing so. On the river I bet for thin value, though I think the type of hands I'm targeting (6x, 77,88,99) etc are more likely to call an $10 or something than what I bet. His range of 'air' on the turn though certainly improved a bit with this river. So what do you guys think? I didn't really consider c/c the river but I guess c/f may be okay...

    Btw the cbet is usally $5 I have no idea why I made it $4 though sometimes Table Ninja effs up and makes my standard bet sizing off by 1bb.

    surely if hes unknown we have no reason to believe he's going to be betting this turn with air/weak made hands we beat when we check to him.

    b/f turn seems the better option to me. it seems extremely unlikely we get raised by worse, and its kind of a good card if he has 6x/77/88/99 because if he is bad he just won't believe we have trip 10s and that'll be his reason for calling.

    as played i cant work out why we're betting the river. if you c/c the turn because you think he's going to bet worse hands when you show weakness then does it not make sense to c/c the river too?

    And you are representing a hand that can't be bluffraised how often?

    this is a good point.

    this river decision wouldn't even exist if I just b/f the turn.

    um, if you bet and he calls you have a decision. In fact, change the question. Assume bet-fold and you run into a call - what's your river play?

    There's a reason this turn is generally considered bad to fire two on...

    no I mean this specific decision given how the turn played

    that's also a tough spot but essentially the river is a brick for our opponent but also strengthens our perceived range..question is whether we can get a 3rd street of value from those hands that peel the turn. likely not, c/...f anyone?

    are you saying you prefer c/c? if so why?

    it's generally considered bad to fire 2 on as a bluff against an unknown, an not because there are lots of Ts in his range..

    agreed. but we're not bluffing. and if bluffing here is bad because we get a lot of calls then by the same token value betting is good. maybe dozer wasnt talking about this exact situation or maybe I'm missing something.

    exactly, we need to have a reason to believe he's gonna bet worse when checked to. as an unknown we dont know this.

    Yeah, I meant fire two with air, not in this specific spot. I was implying exactly wat you guys said up der^^^^

    Nice blocker bet on the river, I might shove back with air. I'd rather bet/fold the turn. If he's got a T or wants to rep it, he'll raise.
