.25/.5 Nlhe (6 Max) Aa Oop

Villain is 43/15 through 142 hands. He has a post-flop AF of 1.57.Does anyone fold this river? As far as I was concerned, his line on this hand could easily be a flush draw (I often see the min-raise in position from an opoponent who flopped a flush draw).Anyone play the hand differently at any point?PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)SB ($54.45)BB ($94.60)UTG ($55)MP ($49.25)Hero ($112.80)Button ($135.85)Preflop: Hero is CO with , . 2 folds, Hero raises to $2, Button calls $2, 2 folds.Flop: ($4.75) , , (2 players)Hero bets $2, Button raises to $4.5, Hero calls $2.50.Turn: ($13.75) (2 players)Hero bets $7.5, Button calls $7.50.River: ($28.75) (2 players)Hero checks, Button bets $26, Hero calls $26.Final Pot: $80.75

I think its fairly standard. I might have bet around 9 - 10 on the turn. On the river, I think I'd throw in a blocking bet instead of checking to villain. Say throw in a half-sized pot bet and fold to a raise. You end up getting value out of your AA, and losing less if you were planning to call a pot-sized bet. If you think villain is prone to bluffing his draws on the river, I might check to induce a bluff.

That's a really strange villain line. I can't think this is much more than a whiff or a 9. Might be 88 or JJ or some such thing. If you were inducing the bluff, why not re-raise once you got it?

Because you won't get called by anything you beat. This is either call or fold.

I agree that it was a strange villain line. I was checking the river to induce a bluff from busted flush draws, but of the range of hands that the villain bets the river into me, how many of them still call my check-raise that I still beat? No busted flush draw is sticking around to call my check-raise.

Do you even play poker?

All of those re-raise PF.If you put him on the flush draw you need to bet more on the turn and I agree about a 1/2 pot river bet/fold to a raise.

was thinking the same thingas for the hand I like repopping the baby raise on the flop instead of calling and leading the turn. at this point he isn't getting away from an overpair and is likely to come along for the ride.as played this could also easily be a busted flush so I simply call the river

you must have been drunk when you made this post.

I bet more on the flop. I'm curious why are we flat calling such a small raise on the flop, then donk leading the turn?

The only thing that seems standard about this hand is the preflop raise. Why aren't we c-betting more on the flop, reraising on the flop, and betting more on the turn?This could easily be a busted flush draw, but it could also be a 9. The mini-raise on the flop could easily be a hand like A9s or any suited connector with a 9 in it.

agreed, The bet on the flop of $2 is so weak your begging to be drawn out on... once he re-rasies you, I would have made a pot sized re-raise, if he calls then shove the turn... as played its a disgusting river card and tough decision due to poor play on earlier streets!

[NoBBiR 0]

That's true, I didn't notice the smallish flop bet. If you bet that weakly, you should be reraising his raise. Otherwise, it's fine.

Merby, what's the result? Apparently, no one believes this is a big underpair to our AA.

[NoSup4U 0]

Since you're oop, I would get more money in on the flop. If he's likely to bet the turn, I would check raise turn.As played, I call.Mark

Sorry guys, I forgot that I had posted this hand. Villain had [6d 9d] for trips and the pot. I totally butchered my approach --perhaps my foray into PLO has made me forget how to play the most standard NLHE hand. I led weak on the flop expecting a raise from this particular villain, ...and then failed to take control on the flop.

If this line is standard, you play bad. 3-bet the flop, AINEC.
