Vilain is ivanildo, which is a breakeven SNE, so I assume he is bad, multitables a lot and don't make sick moves.

He didn't raise much at all my SB at that point so I put him on smth like 22+,Ax+,K5+, any broadway and some SC

Flop is a very standard call.
Turn I could have folded since that I don't think he is ever bluffing here
( he is kind of a nit). But at the same time, maybe he would bet turn with his little Ax and a lot of river cards make me split with some Ax that beats me.

On river, his bet looks so much like AT+, and given infos I know about him, I was 90% sure that's what he was holding.
I think my A8 is never good there.

I then decided to raise river trying to rep stuff like 88,K9,A9,Q9,J9,T9,33
Since I don't have any bluff in my range to call twice here, he has to know I will turn small Ax into bluff river and we had no history that could have make him believe that.
So do you think it's a profitable raise here? Do you think such a guy is capable of making a fold here with AK'AQ'AJ'AT ??

Thanks !

Hello beardsell,

I don't think either that he is going to 2nd barrel on turn either with pure bluff therefore I'd fold there as well. And as played the river is very marginal, I don't really think that he is capable of folding any Ax hands here while he picked such a 3barrel line and maybe even does have a stronger hand, therefore I guess I'd just fold it on river more often than turn my hand into bluff and also raising turn should be better than raising river against that kind of guy.

Best regards.

i like it, he should fold a lot of better hands, as well as, what u said: u cannot be rly bluffing here often, so nice balancing.

lol my main game is HU

the main point of this hand was to know about tendencies of SH players in this spot because I do think it's a profitable raise vs many players

but well he timed out and called with AQo, I think I should have chosen a better hand reader to make this raise

thanks for feedback TheLastNail
