$4.40 Nlhe, Questionable River Play


Recommended Posts

At this point I'm kind of new to the table, so I don't really have much information on the other players. I think I played this hand fine, but I'm wondering if my small bet on the river was the right move. What do you think?PokerStars Game #35548374429: Tournament #213406751, $4.00+$0.40 USD Hold'em No Limit - Level VIII (60/120) - 2009/11/18 19:18:10 PT [2009/11/18 22:18:10 ET]Table '213406751 34' 9-max Seat #1 is the buttonSeat 1: monsi (5390 in chips) Seat 2: MANUFC68 (3490 in chips) Seat 3: ThinkDustin (4800 in chips) Seat 4: LeCrochet (12898 in chips) Seat 5: nazreen (6810 in chips) Seat 6: bowser2008 (6684 in chips) Seat 7: Coupon_Jack (8025 in chips) Seat 8: funzobear (6330 in chips) Seat 9: Joeking7 (5780 in chips) is sitting outmonsi: posts the ante 15MANUFC68: posts the ante 15ThinkDustin: posts the ante 15LeCrochet: posts the ante 15nazreen: posts the ante 15bowser2008: posts the ante 15Coupon_Jack: posts the ante 15funzobear: posts the ante 15Joeking7: posts the ante 15MANUFC68: posts small blind 60ThinkDustin: posts big blind 120*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to ThinkDustin [Ks 4s]LeCrochet: folds nazreen: calls 120bowser2008: folds Coupon_Jack: folds funzobear: folds Joeking7: folds monsi: folds MANUFC68: folds ThinkDustin: checks *** FLOP *** [As Kh 8s]ThinkDustin: bets 240nazreen: calls 240*** TURN *** [As Kh 8s] [Kd]ThinkDustin: bets 600nazreen: calls 600*** RIVER *** [As Kh 8s Kd] [Ac]ThinkDustin: bets 600nazreen: calls 600I didn't really feel like I was still winning when that Ace hit, but I also didn't feel like check calling 1000. I thought by betting 600 I could save myself a few hundred and maybe still represent a hand that wanted a call . What do you think of my line? Should I have check called, check folded, led out for more on the river, less? I'm always trying to get better so I appreciate all opinions and criticisms.

I would play it the same. I like the $600 bet. If you check and he bets 1000, then you are guessing, especially since you say you don't have much info on the player. If you bet 600 and he raises you significantly then it's an easy fold.

even thou we are full, the ace was not a great card for us on river (the worst in reality), it made hands we were betting at for value nw beating us, i fold to a shove, and frankly i like check call on river, we only beat a smaller boat, and on a double paired board they don't wanna go crazy here either

If villain is aggro, I like c/c better, there's not a lot we should be getting value from here. Aggro villains are more likely to bluff the river than they are to call with worse, and they are more likely to raise our blocker bet.
