    Default AK 3handed 50nl line checkin

    mat_luke is running 30/20; according to PTR he doesn't play often. he's been multi tabling but hasn't done anything out of line in the hour we've been playing together. i've been playing my abc TAG game against him so far

    is the best river plan to c/c? his raise seemed really odd considering he checked the turn; am i right to think this line is suspicious? i'm not sure how he would perceive my river betting range.

    His line is so weird that I'm never folding the river, especially when you get there vs one of his most likely hands!!!

    I think folding is pretty awful tbh since there's really only 2 hands that beat you and its pretty damm hard to flop a set.

    wait, what hand did we get there on? AJ surely bets the turn, doesn't it? these weird lines aren't bluffs much in my experience at ssnl, so i think a fold here is fine.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    meeloche means A4/AJ got counterfeited on the river, though i think this guy probably isn't capable of turning those into a bluff on the river.

    my M.O. at SSNL is looking up suspicious lines because in my experience they're more often bluffs than 'standard' lines. however in the moment i felt i was beat so i folded, but i'm inclined to agree with meeloche that i should have called instead.
