BCing the River (5 handed 6max Bovada 25nl)
SO one of my biggest leaks is probably Bet Calling the river. I haven't looked it up lately but I think last time I checked I was losing 1000bb/100 doing BC's on the river.
If I BC the river, it usually has to be the stone cold nuts or close to it.
I wouldn't be surprised if a month worth of play and 40,000 hands, if I BC the river, if it turns out to be a profitable play with anything less than a hand close to the nuts (If I have nuts I'm raising his raise), it's perhaps once a month.
This is two hands where I think I induced him to make this huge raise on the river forcing me to BC.
Thinking back I think I had a note on Villain that in a previous hand he had floated a bluff cbet with 2 overs, no draws and not even A high. So IMO he's a classic calling station.
So this is the first hand
VIllain is Loose-Passive Whale with 144bb
VPIP 57
PFR 2
AGG 0.9
3BET 2.9
Hero is borderline LAG and TAG with 112bb
Hero is CO delt KsKc
MP1 folds
Here in CO raises 3bb
Villain in BTN calls
SB folds
BB folds
Flop comes 348ss
Pot is 7.5bb
Hero leads for 5.5bb
BTN calls
Pot is 19bb going into turn.
Turn is 10c
Hero Cbets turn 12.5bb
BTN calls 12.5bb
Pot is 43bb going into river.
River is 3c
Hero fires a third barrel 22bb into 43bb pot.
Villain calls, pot is 82.5bb after rake.
Hero shows KK, Villain shows A8s
Hero wins pot.
So the very next hand is where I think I induced him to make a huge bluff based on the previous hand. I think I put him on tilt a little bit since I took him for over 40bb the previous hand.
MP1 Hero has 155bb
CO Villain has 101bb
Hero picks up AKo MP1 5 handed 6max
Hero PFR's 3bb
Villain in CO calls
Flop comes K24 rainbow.
Pot is 7.5bb
Hero does standard cbet 4.5bb
CO calls
Turn is 7s
At this point in the hand I decided I don't want to play it the EXACT same way I did the KK, and was hoping maybe I might induce some kind of massive bluff, I'd fake weakness this time, where in the previous hand I showed strength on all 3 streets, to play my hand more deceptively than straight forward the previous hand.
Hero X's
CO X's
Pot is 17bb going into river
river is 3c
No flushes, no straights, an obscure straight, 2 pair, and of course a set would be very unfortunate for me.
I decided I'm going to bet here, and if he raises, even though the vast vast vast majority of my BC's on the river are very unprofitable plays, this might be a rare circumstance that it might work out with a hand that's far from the nuts, I suspect he might be on tilt from the previous hand.
Hero leads river for 10.5bb
CO raises to 66bb
Again I suspect he's on tilt from the previous hand, so with TPTK I decide to call him down thin
Hero calls
Pot is 142bb after rake
Hero shows AKo
Villain shows K10o
Hero wins 142bb
My question is was this an appropriate time to slowplay the turn and induce a raise on the river if you suspect your opponent is on tilt from the previous hand? I'm losing massive amounts of $ (for 25nl that is) doing BC's on the river. Why was this BC profitable but it appears almost all my other BC's are not?
This hand appears to be the exception and not the rule.
When do the better poker players on this site employ BC's on the river when your hand isn't nutted?
