25nl-99 on BTN

    Default 25nl-99 on BTN

    A few hands. Maybe std. River bets (or lack of) seem to be costing me

    BB is 22/14/3 over 40 or so. Minbets any pair whether it's a pp or pair the board. Never seen a semibluff. Will fold to aggression. Bets big hands big including TPTK.

    betting looked weak so I figured he had a pair of some sort and not 22 or 66. He would have bet Jx big. Plan was to get to SD cheap.

    On the turn I figured I was ahead because ofthe weak bet.

    River a bet or a check? If a bet then how much ?

    h1 nice plan. We wanted to get to sd cheaply and got there. Checkaroo.

    h2 why not bet all postflop streets harder?

    H1: Standard all the way. Check the river.
    H2: For a 1.2AF to raise he must have at least 2pr, maybe like K5. I'm really tempted to shove the river since he obv sucks a lot. Could easily have A4 also here. I wonder if you could c/r.... it's always weird to get max value out of these kinds of morons on a river with such a high SPR. Maybe b/shove like 4.35? I dunno if he'll shove over that or not.

    It's kind of an interesting spot to find the right bet size that will induce a raise from the top of his range and still get max value from a hand he is just calling with. fwiw I don't see him fold any hand he minraises the turn with.
    [00:29] <daven> dc, why not check turn behind
    [00:30] <DC> daven
    [00:30] <DC> on my hand?
    [00:30] <daven> yep
    [00:30] <DC> because I am drunk
    [00:30] <daven> nice reason
    [00:30] <daven> no further questions
    [00:30] <yaawn> ^^Lol

    Problem officer...?

    1: It's good. No hands we beat will call so check behind.

    2: You're probably behind on turn but calling the minraise is good. Bet $4.5 / call.

    1: fistpump for making it to showdown and check it back, hoping he doesn't have a weak jack.
    2: pot the flop and turn to build a pot (we really have to do this when we hit our big blind specials!). As played I like a river shove.

    H1: check river
    H2: pot flop and turn; as played b/p $3.50. I don't see anything in his range that is calling anymore than this other than A4, which with that he is probably raising, maybe even shoving...

    H2 : As others have said you can bet larger on flop and turn.

    Seems kinda close between b/c $5 or c/r all in. His range is fairly strong when he min raises but I think there's some Kx type hands there which he thinks is the nuts and will call a PSB on the river but might only bet $3 and find a fold to a big c/r otherwise.

    Say the river is a complete blank - whats the plan?
