(43/25/1.9/40)

Played just 155 hands with him, stats could be misinterpreted, cause I assessed him as a good thinking, aggressive opponent, so the more rare type of opponent on that limit.

1) value-bet river?

Full Tilt Poker
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $1/$2

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is BB with K♣ A♣
2 folds, SB raises, Hero 3-bets, SB caps, Hero calls.

Flop: T♦ 5♦ T♥ (7SB, 2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

Turn: Q♠ (4.5BB, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

River: 9♥ (4.5BB, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB calls.

Results:
Final pot: 6.5BB

2) How do you play the hand?

1. I'm quite new to pokerstrategy but I'd assume that his bet on the flop was a continuation so he didn't necessarily hit anything, cause he raised preflop he probably doesn't have a card to pair on the flop. I'd say bet on river just because he is usually agressive although this might be him switching up styles to confuse you. My guess would be he had AK also, probably not JJ cause he would have been more agressive with 2 pair and an OESD.

2. I'd play just like you did, the betting on the flop was correct due to your raise preflop, and once the turn came out you had an OESD as well as middle pair so a call was appropriate, however on the river we had nothing (literally nothing) so it was appropriate to fold to his pressure.

I'm really unsure and I'd have no idea what to do really in the first situation so that was a stab in the dark, but the second hand - quite sure.


1) No, check behind. There is no hand he caps that you beat here which will call often enough.
I take the freesd and if he had AJ or KJ I'm happy anyway.

2) I play it like you did.

TerrorBlade you don't need to hide your posts. :)

Oh lol sorry, I thought i read that somewhere here ;D

Can you explain your answer to the first hand cirith? By check behind did you mean on the flop he should have checked after seeing the SB's check? Oh i understand now you mean for a normal TAG player he wouldn't cap with a hand that included a 10 or a 5, unless he's some kind of maniac :P


I mean the river. :)
He could have AT but it's very unlikely but even on this board there aren't many hands that he beats and that SB might call too on the river.
