Going to post a hand which was quite interesting for me, while I was shamelessly grinding NL25SH to qualify for PokerStrategy's PacificPoker freeroll ( http://www.pokerstrategy.com/news/pokerstrategy/1-PokerStrategy-Freeroll-on-888.com-PacificPoker_05891 ). I think it brings up a rather weird special niche topic, which is why I have posted it in Discussion, rather than the NL50 hands. IMO there is only one correct move on the river here, can you guess what it is?

6-handed 12c/25c PacificPoker

Stack Sizes:

UTG: $20.50
MP: $24.74
CO/Hero: $25.07
BU: $24.69
SB: $27.54
BB: $33.46

Hero is CO with A :heart:J :club:

2 folds, Hero raises to $1
BU calls $1
SB calls $1
BB calls $1

Flop comes T :spade:K :diamond:9 :club: (Pot $3.80)

SB checks, BB checks, CO checks, BU checks

Turn comes Q :heart: (Pot $3.80)

SB bets $0.25, BB folds, Hero raises to $4, BU folds, SB calls $4

River comes 7 :spade: (Pot $11.40)

SB bets $0.25, Hero ($20.07 remaining) ??

If he has what he is repping (nothing, 2nd-3rdpairish) he won't call a near potsized bet anyways. Thus i go for the overbet shove, because fish won't be folding any twopairs and o/c no set.

Chances are he's not going to fight for that pot if he's only betting 0.25 into an $11 pot so just reraising won't do much good. Going all in might convince him you're trying to steal the pot and cause him to make a costly call. Don't bet on it though unless he's a real fish.


weird bets like that into such a big pot confuse me, I'd raise what I think they could possibly call without scaring them into folding so pushing isn't a good idea (unless like HennieP said theyre a real fish) I'd probably bet about $8-9 (2/3 of the pot)


I raise 3/4 pot. Doubtful he is gonna call an overbet push without the nuts/2nd nuts.

Easy push imo

in my opinion, this hand is about handranges, and trying to narrow your opponent's handrange down. this is quite hard because quite obviously our opponent is a donkey, but even so we have to give him credit for a hand here.

his preflop call means nothing, at this limit it could well be any two cards.

flop shows no information

turn he donks out 1BB into a 16BB pot, and calls a potsize raise. i think we can narrow his range down here to a slowplayed set or 2 pair or a J.

river he donks out again. if we put his range here on a slowplayed set, 2pair or a Jack, we can make the right decision. a set can never call any decent size bet, nor can 2pair, and a Jack is probably not folding to a push, so we should overbet all-in and hope for the best.
