What's your next move?

See what they are talking about in our poker forums this week? Read here to find out in our hand of the week and vote on your next move.

This week’s hand vote comes courtesy of Spanish community member laesquinacr. In his Hold’em game at PokerStars, we can see five players fold immediately leaving two players to play out the hand. Holding  & , hero raises initially and is met.

Moving forward, the flop provides a decent   & so hero bets and is once again called by his oppo. On the turn, the lands and again hero bets and oppo calls before the hits on the river at which point , we want to know what should hero do next?

Hand history User roanroro77 thinks that the river has to be played check/fold because of the horrible rivercard. Despite this, kocopoker would check/call the river because villain could bluff projects or even valuebet some aces.

Another option could be making a small blockbet to prevent bluffs and get in some super-thin value from hands like QJ.
