UTG was fairly tight, 100% fold to 3bet. So I chose to flat, also hoping one of the regs would squeeze.Is there ever any value in raising the river? Not sure if he's ever calling with like AQ.Dont have a cow, heres your converted handPokerStars No-Limit Hold'em $0.25/$0.50 - 6 playersSB: $50.00 BB: $55.10 UTG: $50.00 UTG+1: $22.90 CO: $58.20 Button: $59.50 (Hero)Preflop: ($0.75) Hero is Button with (6 players)UTG raises to $1.50, 2 folds, Hero calls $1.50, 2 foldsFlop: ($3.75) (2 players)UTG bets $2.50, Hero calls $2.50Turn: ($8.75) (2 players)UTG bets $5, Hero calls $5River: ($18.75) (2 players)UTG bets $7, Hero calls $7(Rake: $1.55)

I can probably count on one hand where I've value-raised a river in a spot like this. I think I've probably been like 50/50 on having it work out. (It can be sexy/fun.)As for the AQ...nice funky root beer, though I would've root beered from the flop.

interesting handI'd say there's no value to a river raise if he's the type of player who'll fold hands you dominate to a 3-bet pf; he's also probably the type of player who'll fold one pair (well, technically two pair) to a raise. really sucks, too, when he calls us with AT.

Based on the information I had, I don't think he's opening A10o or A10s UTG, but I don't want to entirely discount it from his range.His value range to me was AQ+, AA, 1010, and 88. 88 and AA just aren't very likely due to it's tough to make quads. Also, there's only one combo of AA left. Based on his bet sizing, I don't think he ever has 1010.So that really narrows his range down to AQ+ and an extremely small percentage of bluffs.He did end up having AQ, and I agree that he's probably just folding to a raise. The only good thing about raising the river, imo, is that sometimes he'll fold when we're chopping with AK.

Someone here has to have an ace so I'd probably check and raise or call depending on how much of the heavy lifting those behind do for you.

c/c the turn is prob best, but it depends on who bets and how many people callwe pretty much have the nuts here, so might as well give'em some rope.

[SuperJon 175]

Well I just hopefully smoked my last cigarette tonight. I've tried quitting before with gum and other methods. Furthest I've made it was about 4 days. Really hoping I can stick with it this time around.Not sure I want to play much poker, since I'm sure I'll be easily tilted.

Your pair of kings is prolly good here or he's pretty awful and decided to bet/fold 2 pairs. what hands did u expect him to fold?Personally, I don't think I'm folding very often(unless I'm bluffing ofc) to your raise since you are representing a very narrow range (AJ and maybe J10)

He called pretty quickly pre...and then almost snap-called the flop. Based on that, I think he has an ace in his hand most of the time...which means that unless he has AJ, he really can't be calling that river shove. Like, he was somewhat bad, but I don't think he's going to bet/call that river without the straight. In addition, I believe that I can rather plausibly rep AJ/KJ/JJ/JT/J9 on the river. His sizing helped a bit too...since he didn't bet as big, I further can discount the straight a bit and there's some room to get him off of an ace.I think if you're bet/calling that river against me, you're generally going to be lighting money on fire, because I'm just not going to show up without the jack too often. (Obviously, I didn't have it in this case.) Like, think about this...what the hell am I 4-betting pre, c-betting the flop, checking the turn, and raise-shoving the river? It's probably not air...cause I wouldn't 4-bet it pre often against this guy. Also, if I had air and wanted to bluff, I'd be much more likely to bet the turn. When I check that turn back, it looks like I've got something or completely given up. I'm probably not shoving the river with just an ace or two pair. Sets would also be unlikely. So essentially, I've probably got the jack...or I've decided to turn Kx/Tx into a bluff.

First, I'd like to say than KosinTrouble is the man. He probably spent a good 90+ minutes on TeamViewer trying to get HEM and HUD to stop being dumb and succeeded! Just have one question about HUD;Is there a way to rotate the stats when I change seats. I change my seat location and the stats stay where they are so they don't match up with the player they are actually displayed next to.edit; 2nd question. Can I move the stats so I can actually use my time bank/ click on things behind them?

[KingJames 11]

good good... I'm of no help with these questions, glI've been violently ill for the last 20 hours, it sucks so badSupposed to drive back to school tomorrow, too. FML
