SB: $7.26 (72.6 bb)
BB: $11.73 (117.3 bb)
CO: $9.99 (99.9 bb)
Hero (BTN): $10 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with A A
CO calls $0.10, Hero raises to $0.50, 2 folds, CO calls $0.40

Flop: ($1.15) J 8 2 (2 players)
CO bets $1.15, Hero calls $1.15

Turn: ($3.45) A (2 players)
CO bets $1.73, Hero calls $1.73

While playing decided to just slowplay the turn but while reviewing I think this isn't the best spot to slowplay since I need to protect my equity and get value too. If the turn was any other card I think I should continue to call but when I turn trips I think a raise is in order.

However I don't think there's any hand that raises there as a bluff and any sets or strong flop hands would have raised the flop and flush draws would too raise the flop itself.

Raising might strongly signal strength enough to make him fold a lot of his range as I'll mostly have very strong value hands there.

River: ($6.91) 9 (2 players)
CO checks, Hero bets $4.61, CO calls $4.61

Hello,

I actually think raising the flop in order to build the pot or even stack off on the flop is better than just calling. Calling is very good if villain is very aggressive and you believe he'll continue bluffing a lot on turns and rivers if you just call.

Once you call the flop, on this turn I would either just call or make a small raise to 3,5-4,3$, but again calling is going to be better if you think villain is likely to keep betting his bluffs on the river.

As played turn, I would just shove when checked to on the river. I think villain's c/calling range is quite inelastic towards your bet size on this runout.

Villain will call with a similar range regardless of your bet size. So he'll call almost the same range vs a shove as vs a half pot bet.

Aah ok got it.

Like inelastic demand, you price it higher demand still remains similar and doesnt fall much. Don't know why I didn't get it the first time :f_biggrin:.
