Hello,

was this the correct play on the river?
Or would it be better to play check/fold given the fact that the straight arrives?

Best regards
Dominik

Hey Dominik,

I think it's probably better to C/C OTR, allowing him to bluff his Ax, Kx & pocket pairs, especially if the villain only makes a small bet. If he shoves the river you can get away from the hand easier.

The river seems like a blank to me. The straight isn’t to likely, because he need to have A2, 62 or 76. He need to be very optimistic I think to call those hands pre-flop and on the turn.

I don’t think a thin value bet on the river is too bad against an unknown in a $1,10 tournament, but then you need to fold if he’s raising.

Cheers,

Call on river you are getting 6-1 and most likiley have the best hand, even if he bluffs 16% a call is in order.

That’s right, but what kind of weaker hand will ever min raise against 2 players on the river and he’s committing himself as well?

True, theres still a fair chance that UTG+1 has AK as well. I think a fold is best, but at this level with the random play you get there I couldn't bring myself to fold and would have to see what he had (most likely slow played TT)

If AK is the worst hand in his range you will reach the 16% most likely, but calling for a split is nasty.
Board: 5♦T♠3♥ K♣ 4♦
Equity Win Tie
UTG 20.00% 0.00% 20.00% { AcKs }
UTG+1 80.00% 60.00% 20.00% { TT, 55, 33, AKs, AKo }
