Bottom Boat, tough river spot

    Default Bottom Boat, tough river spot

    Villain is 26/20 over 70 hands with 8% 3b. only 2/6 cbet up to this point. timing on each street was super standard 1... 2... bet. wouldn't expect a a player like this to 3/4 PSB flop with a bare Q without putting much thought into it, so now i'm confused on river.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG ($102.60)
    MP ($68.65)
    CO ($50.90)
    Hero (Button) ($151.95)
    SB ($262.45)
    BB ($126.95)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 10, 10
    3 folds, Hero bets $1.50, SB raises to $5.60, 1 fold, Hero calls $4.10

    Flop: ($12.30) Q, A, 10 (2 players)
    SB bets $8.75, Hero calls $8.75

    Turn: ($29.80) Q (2 players)
    SB bets $21.25, Hero calls $21.25

    River: ($72.30) 5 (2 players)
    SB bets $51.95, Hero?

    I thought you were suggesting folding... I would definitely call.

    When you say confused, you mean between calling or shoving?

    I would raise the flop. As played if you're that worried about AQ/AA/QQ then just call.

    I wouldn't ever fold though, he can have KJ or bd flush or KQ. It's not like I would expect KQ to check when we have so many possible aces. The more I type the more I want to shove.

    i'd advise against shoving unless you're capable of bluffing in this spot (or villain thinks you are), or your opponent is capable of b/c the entire range he value bets on the river.

    see, he only has like 40 bucks behind so just ship it in, i guess he might fold AK but he might also have clubs or KQ as opposed to say AA or AQ or QQ meh
