[5nl] AJ, hits something on river

[Cobra_1878]

Bet flop is fine.

I'd rather c/f or c/c river than bet. People can def have all Kx getting to the river like this.

Why do you lead out on this flop into 2 opponents, OOP, with A high and no immediate draws, with one of the villains being a calling station?

I agree this would normally be a good flop to cbet on, but not against someone who rarely folds to cbets. Surely there are betters spots to bet in?

If he is a calling station his calling range on the button is going to be quite wide, even more so as there is dead money in the pot. Then if he doesn't really ever fold out any of that range then I'm quite happy with A high, as it still dominates his range. He isn't going to have that much 4x in his range, PPs are all in his range but a relatively small part of it, same for Kx.

Do you not think it would be better to wait until we actually have a hand and then just v-bet the shit out of him?

We should miss out on value because there are going to be other spots where we get value?

May aswell practice playing for thin value now when it costs less than later on. If he's just starting I would suggest not getting involved in spots like this, but if he's a winning player at 5nl why not learn to add more value will be good long term.
