Hi

Only 60 hands on the opponent and he seems to be very aggro: 41/24

1.- Would you keep beting your blockers on turn and most rivers? On the turn is probably even a thin value bet against something like 9J, but I think if we are going to bet the turn, then we should bet river on the bluff on blank rivers to make him fold maybe 2 pairs or even a set.

2.- But what to do when the river pairs? check our showdown value and fold to any bet unless we have a read that he bets a lot on the river when is checked to him?

3.- that river card sucks but, it is worthy to bet it for the reasons mencionated on point 1? if yes, how much money would do the trick in your opinion?

Thanks and regards

SB: $30.09 (120.4 bb)
BB: $41.57 (166.3 bb)
UTG: $25 (100 bb)
MP: $34.41 (137.6 bb)
Hero (CO): $27.14 (108.6 bb)
BTN: $40.14 (160.6 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A♥ 9♦ 9♣ A♣
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.75, BTN calls $0.75, SB calls $0.65, BB folds

Flop: ($2.50) 8♠ 6♣ T♥ (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1.79, BTN calls $1.79, SB folds

Turn: ($6.08) 2♥ (2 players)
Hero bets $5.06, BTN calls $5.06

River: ($16.20) Q♠ (2 players)
Hero?

I also play PLO 25, but i dont thing blockers bluff work to much in this stake thats why i dont thing is good to do it so often except for the A flush blocker

The problem with ur blocker bet, is that u have here a dynamic board, so even with the 79xx is very likely that the nuts are different in the River

it would be different if u got something like 6 :club:7 :diamond:T :spade:, in that scenario i like the blocker bet

anyway as played, u know that he never has 79xx here of he would raise at some point.

At the River the Q, ok yes complete J9, but is not very likely since u block two 99. And the Q is actually scary for the guy cause, he would have a lot of top two botton sets, that know are botton two, botton set. etc

thats why i would bet the R as a bluff, the size? i thing something like 10.25$ its fine with that bet u dont commit ur self u cant fold if raise, and u show streng at the River

I would bet the river after I have bet the turn. I don't think he ever has the straight so you should have good folding equity.

Hi,

obviously as played you have to fire river. Your blockers are still live, and work good because they block all straights. If the river pairs it's quite safe to c/f imo. There are a few wraps that miss but u block them, so the only hands calling u are sets and 2 pairs; sets have a boat and will valuebet, 2 pair will check behind as they have SD value.

Regards,

Skod
