$5 - BB special

Results 1 to 3 of 3

    Default $5 - BB special

    Opponent was tight to average with stats of 2/1 over 73 hands.

    Do you check the river instead and hope he checks behind? If he does bet then we are pot committed and have to call.

    I shove the turn rather than betting 2/3 pot. Bottom two pair is a strong but vulnerable hand and I want to play this fast. With 2560 behind it isn't even really that much of an overbet.

    As played, I think you are committed to the hand but the board pairing below your two pair is very bad for you. This is the reason I shove the turn.
