I did not move in here mainly because of the board

SB checks, Hero ?

I was hoping on a bet from co or a nice free card would hit the river.
I thought that was quit simple.
So I am wrong ? or not plus ev?

Gotta bet here...nobody has an A so they are drawing, have a J or are slowplaying a smaller monster than yours. I think there is a flush draw out there so I would bet 40-45ish and go from there.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I checked obviously



hit the river ..... bummers

Checked to me again...I bet ?

If I check the turn, I'm pushing the river no matter what.

I push the river b/c pushing with the nuts is sexy and also because you'll often see some J look you up thinking no way an Ace pushes there, blah, blah.

Value betting the river after a turn check doesn't get called that much IMHO.


Also, if you bet the turn, I make it 20-25 to make it look like you are drawing or are on some J.

If they fold to that, you've just learned you can weak bet push them off hands by firing 2 bullets.
