This thread needs some happiness, so here is my day. Not going to get to play anymore today, so this is gonna have to be it - [ ] $1/handAnd finally robusto for the month too!

The two really doesn't help anyone, BTN has $11.75 left and CO has 21.10 left. I think we probably should have bet much closer to the pot due to villains stack sizes, which would make shoving the turn a lot easier. As played, we can't stop betting I don't think, maybe an overshove?

I put the cutoff on a draw as he should almost never be smooth calling that flop with a set due to all the draws. I figured if he has overs+fd or something he'll call me with an overshove so thats what I did.

Hand 1 I think is okay. I think it depends on how you play. I wouldn't mind a bet/check/bet line or c/c turn and river if villain bets the turn. Hand 2 I think we call the Turn and c/c a non-club river. I don't often see minraises as strength

Calls, re-evs on river

[chgocubs99 0]

I don't think you should bet the river on the first one. I'd shove the second one but that's probably the HU in me...calling is probably better but that's why I win at .01 pt/bb and others win more

This has been my last two weeks of poker. I really don't even know what to do at this point. I know it's poker. I know everyone loses. I also know that I haven't been coolered this many times in my whole life. It feels like every time I bluff, they shove on me, or they call with a draw which they hit, or they miss, but call my river barrel with 3rd pair which would win 1/10 times that I'm bluffing, which happens to be this time. I make strong hands and value bet and I get shoved on and have to fold. I don't think I've ever folded so many straights and strong two pair hands before. Every ****ing ridiculous line that people take against me maximizes their profit. Usually I can shrug this crap off, but lately, I am fine for a while and then it keeps mounting, people winning 70% of showdowns vs me, them playing like maniacs until I finally pick up AQ and get it AIPF vs AK or vs AA or something and it makes me want to break things, which I have yet to do.I've played 13,375 hands of poker this month and I'm up $111.Down $1650 in like 750 hands today.

Sorry bro.

Don't you think we miss out on too much value by checking on the river that hand? I think that said villain won't bet this river enough of the time for us to be getting enough value, and I think that bet/fold is our best line since more often than not we will have the best hand.

How often do you think he calls with worse on that board? If more often than not we will have the best hand, I think check/call is the best line if he won't call with worse. And we haven't even gotten into the times he raises. I just think firing off a bet there is "betting for information".Not saying it's right, that's just how I thought about it.Edit: My point being that he may try to value bet thin on the river, or bluff missed clubs or other draws on this board.

Usually I agree and would take a c/c line, but here we are up against a 40/8ish villain with a real low aggression factor. I think they will allow a weaker made hand/missed draw to check through enough that we are losing value playing it that way. And I do think we get called enough by worse (KQ, QJ, QT, Q9, TT, A8 even) to make a bet a very slightly +EV play.I think it is real close either way, tbh, and that's why I was curious for you to expand on your thought a bit.EDIT: I guess what I am mainly trying to get at is give an opponent an opportunity to do what they are best at, and in this spot I think villain is best at calling.
