Sattelite hand

$265 qualifier to ANZPT Canberra. Bubble just broke, 2-11 pay $265 (11 left). Villain is probably fishiest player left, but not totally fishy. Only note is:

l/c 2Ks call psb AK7 flop call all in on 2 turn

My image (if he cares) is probably fairly good, maybe a touch aggressive as I got a run of cards on the bubble.

As you know I watched you play this hand. Firstly I think I make it 500 rather than 600 preflop, and looking at it in retrospect I wonder whether you should have fired again on the turn. That's a very drawy board and you want to charge a donk like this to chase his crazy draws.

As played, on the river all I remember was that my comment on MSN was "ayayayayayay!" which I don't think was particularly helpful. Whilst the action on the turn certainly may have induced him to bluff, with more than 30x BB behind I would probably wimp out and fold.

Just bet the turn, 2K sounds good. Betting with top pair, good kicker vs. fishy players until they give you a reason to slow down is pretty much Poker 101.

Yeah, that was my bad. For some reason at the time I thought it was a bad card, but in reality it was very unlikely to change anything.

I'd fold river, turn seems at worst kinda good

I actually would have played this hand very similar and would have folded the river. Don't our reverse implied odds on the turn suck a lot? J9, A9, T9 got there and all improve villains range but not ours.
