the only thing he is calling me to the river with is a set or a flush draw. Was I right to C/F?

Hi,

Again 63/3 might be wider calling range, but betting thin for value likely isn´t the best idea so I think c/f is ok.
Also I´d try to go pot control/induce bet from worse hands on the turn, since on the river there isn´t really too many cards where you´d like to bet for value and I don´t think you should go 3 streets for value with middle pair top kicker.

You ain't gonna achieve much with the "turn hand into bluff-catcher" in this spot. You can't Call the turn and river vs his bluffing range. And going for just Check/Call on turn is no point at all. He can easily bet the river as well with bluffs.

I'd rather consider to 2nd barrel it for protection from any kind of draws and maybe even value from Jx rather than turn my hand into bluff-catcher. But obviously I don't like your bet size at all, you are just say exactly your hand "I have a weak hand, raise me". Make it ~$0,90 or something similar and Check/Fold the river.


Why I can´t c/c on blank turn and river card:)
I´m way ahead 63/3 range on the turn:

board: KcJh4c3
Hand Equity Wins Ties
AJ 70.55% 879,081 11,400
60% 29.45% 363,695 11,400

He would float me any pair, any draw, gutshots, A high hands.
We have showdown value and at the same time I don´t want to bet 3 streets also I doubt he is betting himself 3 streets with Kx and most likely he has there just some kind of draw.

I likely have to be good at river smt like 30%, but I´m sure I win more than half the times when river is blank.

Well, because T:c ain't a blank? :) And most of his calling range on flop is still going to pay you on turn as well.

And who was talking about 3 streets value? I was talking about good 2streets protection rather than turn my hand into bluff-catcher.
