K9s on BU....

[WeldPhaser]

Hey Guys,
I Finally got my laptop, so i can start posting hands. Villain is a super-nit, and I saw him fold a couple other big rivers, his flat calling range is pretty narrow 66-88 KJ+,AT maybe JJ. i just felt like he was trying to price me out on the turn, but the more I look at it the more stupid i think my River shove is here.... he could have been slow-playing and value betting the turn, what do you think?

My gut says the small blind tried to float the flop and steal on the turn, expecting you to open-raise pre-flop from the button a bit light and C-bet when checked to on most flops. (a correct read, I'd wager)

I feel like your river shove is never getting called by worse here, and so many draws came through on the river. You may be able to get a stronger Kx hand to fold, like KJ, but they will probably fold to a smaller bet, too.

no, if he's trying to get a king to fold he's gotta shove.

LOL if he folded a king.

I would just check this behind against the opponent described, but I could see that being a small mistake.

Small mistake in comparison to pushing? Betting smaller? Just curious.

I think checking behind seems good but I haven't looked at a poker hand in over a year.

I wish we had more reads though. And this hand is probably a good example on why we need more detailed notes.

I'm only ever betting less than all-in here with a specific read that a different bet would be more profitable against a particular player.

pretty standard jam

[The Bean Counter]

Villain has f-all here almost always and isn't calling a river bet. If you're going to bet then you should jam, but I don't hate checking behind to get some info on villain.

If villain led the flop I wouldn't bet river as I take that line with tp sometimes hoping missed draws will bluff, but the c/c on the flop followed by the check on the river gives him a hand that won't call a shove. Perhaps you could have got value from worse with a smaller bet though.

I'm confused. In your mind at the time, were you bluffing or value betting?
