BU: a few hands... seems to be a fish/station; played every of the few hands
BB: same

Poker Stars, $0.25/$0.50 Pot Limit Omaha Cash, 3 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

BTN: $42.58 (85.2 bb)
Hero (SB): $50 (100 bb)
BB: $72.94 (145.9 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A Q A T
BTN calls $0.50, Hero raises to $2, BB folds, BTN calls $1.50

Flop: ($4.50) J K 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $3.75, BTN calls $3.75

Turn: ($12) 2 (2 players)
Hero bets $9.16, BTN calls $9.16

River: ($30.32) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $17, Hero ?

I think, Preflop, Flop and Turn are clear.

River: I could use my blocker for bluffing out 2Pair, but I think, he will also often have this flush. When I bluff small, he could even herocall two pair.
So I decided to check.

When he bets, I think he can only have the khFlush for value. But this is a reasonable hand, as there is also a K on the board. But when he calls 2 streets and then gets the flush, he even could overvalue small flushes. Furthermore, I don't think that he will bluff here that often, so I tend to the fold and I also saw people betting max(pot or the whole stack) for bluffing in such situations.
What do you think?

Hi

What do you think about a ch/r turn?, your hand is strong enough to get all in on the turn, and also with your AA you could go for a cheap SD without improving if he chbh.

I usually don't bet the turn with this hand without any FD on this spot.

As played I would ch/f river against this passive player because I have SD value, I don't see too many 2 pairs in his range, and he is not going to fold any flush on the river after he calls twice no matter what you try.

Regards

Thanks for your answer!

Do you think such a player will float often enough to ch/r profitable. I am always seeing this players check behind to see if their flush draw hits. And when we check we give a free card.

What are you doing, when he checks behind? We have an ugly Riverspot anyway, but of course with less money in the pot.

Hi

Like you said, river is going to be ugly anyway, so I prefer a smaller pot if he checks behind turn.

If your instinct say to you that he is only going to bet made hands when you check turn, then you could play ch/c, if any flush hits on the river he is not going to bluff, and he would call an 80% river bet if you hit your str8 on a no flush card. Also if the board pairs and he has a worse hand than yours, he would check behind, so I think you can safely ch/f on a paired river because he wouldn't turn a made hand into a bluff (ex: having K2 and the 5 pairs on the river)

But with a small sample and not having a clear read that he is that passive, I would ch/r to avoid to be bluffed on the river when probably my AA would be the best hand or having to guess when I get my str8 on a flush river.

I would like a second barrel and fire any river if I had a wrap + FD without SD value.

Regards

Hi,

i like how you played it; vs regs i always fire river, however vs this fish i think a c/f is the only play here.
