I believe that checking back on the river is bad. He would bet the river with flush, full house or straight. You can easily bet for value there. Versus that type of players i am going for +3 streets of value. Sometimes they will call a river bet with 33-88,TT.

Hello puchium,

Welcome to the NL Hand Evaluation Forum! Hopefully we will see more hands from you in the future. I hope that with our help you can improve your play and as well move up the limits. We will be waiting for the next hands and till that good luck on tables!

I moved your thread to correct spot and also I would advice you to convert hands, how to? Link

Preflop: While there is one limper you should raise to 10 cents.
Postflop: Why do you raise the flop and don't bet the turn for value + protection? Rather Bet the turn for value + protection.

Best Regards.

1) flop is a raise for sure against a VPIP 80 guy who has almost every KX and JX and random straight/flush draws.

2) The turn isn't exactly the best card for you since he does have some JX in his leading range on the Flop. However, your opponent has way more KX and draws in his range, meaning you can still go for value. I will bet half pot and fold to a raise, putting him on JX, if I think he is on the passive side. If he is a spazzy player i will bet/call.

3) The river sucks big time for us. As played I would bet the river since i didnt bet the turn. he is unlikely to have anything when he checks twice.

However, if you did choose to play it like I suggested, this River wouldn't be too good for us, we can expect villain to still have many JX and QT/flushes since we did keep the initiative on the Flop and Turn and I would expect him to continue trapping and checking these hands on the river.

It would be a check back in that case

Thanks for the welcome! was wondering how people converted hands x.x thanks haha I didn't bet the turn because the J was on his range even though the jack on the turn makes it less likely for him to have a J, it was my mind playing tricks on me I guess.
