No reads or stats. His range after he calls the flop bet is probably some Kings, flush draws and some sets though they are less likely because he would probably raise with them on a two-tone flop. I bet the turn because there are free cards that can hurt me or kill my action. I have about $1.50 left in our stack on the river, so if I bet and get raised it will be hard to fold.

If we check and get bet into, say for $0.70, I think his range is an occasional full house/quads, flushes, and an occasional King including KQ. If he bets $0.70 then our pot odds are about 180:70 which is about 2.5:1.

Well we changed the plan a little but to the question at hand. I was showing her how to post HHs and how to write out her analysis in a way that doesn't give away results.

Still plenty of (Kx) hands you beat, but well the flush came, 8x went trips, so maybe block bet like 0.30, if he shoves over it you're beat. Or if you're more confidant in your hand, bet $0.7-$0.8, you beat KQ atleast because of the river.

You're ahead here a lot more than you think, but the board sucks. So like jack says, try for pot control. Check if you think he'll bet out small. Or try jack' idea for a small blocking bet and fold to shove. When you check, you'll be surprised how many mirco players will bet small with HUGE hands on the river if checked to, hoping for some value. If the river's cheap, snap call.

But you're sure right on one thing. We're not happy playing for stacks any more on this board.

I don't like blocking bets on the river because if your hand is weak, you're probably putting money in when behind, and when your hand is strong you can value bet closer to pot.

I'd bet/call

but what I'd actually do is pot the turn so I can shove the river

is this saying you don't like blocking bets altogether?

I don't like them on the river in micro stakes because people often check behind strong hands so you don't lose anything by c/f with a marginal hand since people don't bluff rivers that often and tend to give up at the NL2 level

but on the turn with a draw you don't think you can shove because of how strong your opponent is, it's better to block bet sometimes instead of calling a pot-sized bet

Overbet jam

[bigspenda73]

also your turn bet size is a bit girly
