[Closed] PLO10 marginal river bet

Usually at these spots you can use blocker bet. The idea is to bet little smaller, so if villain raises you he has straight. It would be very hard to raise to your blocker bet as a bluff. So against a passive opponent like this you can bet for say $3 and fold if he raises. He might be temped to call with KJ or something similar.

By betting a full pot, you turn your set into a bluff. Only better hands will call, and all the worse hands will fold. So you don't gain anything from the bet. If you fear for villain to bet big with a bluff, then you should let him to do that. I mean, how you can bet a pot, but not call one? If he has that straight, you will lose that bet. No matter who bets it. If he has nothing, you don't win anything from the bet.

That 9 is the worst river card, as the most obvious draw to that flop is QTxx. So if he was drawing, he just hit it on river. I would bet $3 and fold if villain raises. He is never raising as a bluff, when you have only $6 left behind after you bet. So you would save $6 when he has straight. And you might sometimes get value out of KJxx.

I'm not so happy with your preflop hand selection from the small blind. I think KJJ2 will get you into a lot of trouble post flop, especially being 140 bets deep against 2 of the limpers. I would be folding this here.

Flop and turn are absolutely fine, I would be doing the same. However I really don't like the river bet.

The only draw on the flop is QTxx. I can't imagine anyone calling the flop and turn big bets having anything other than this. It's possibly you're against something like AKQ7 but I really expect someone to have improved to a straight on the river (especially because it's a rainbow board, there are no flush draws so it can only be a straight draw someone has in this spot).

I think you got very lucky betting this river and having your opponent fold, it was the best result for you because there will be significant amount of times on this river that your opponent will show up with a straight after that betting pattern.

I would personally check this river and consider a call against an aggressive opponent (however these opponents look very passive and i'm not sure they are capable of bluffing, though they might bet a worse hand than yours thinking it is good).
