SB: $0.29 (5.8 bb)
BB: $4.09 (81.8 bb)
UTG: $4.24 (84.8 bb)
MP: $3.94 (78.8 bb)
CO: $5.78 (115.6 bb) VPIP:20/PFR:19/Hands:56/Steal:18/FCB:75/Agg%:67
Hero (BTN): $10.53 (210.6 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with A J
2 folds, CO raises to $0.15, Hero calls $0.15, SB folds, BB calls $0.10

Flat call assuming we will be ahead often enough.

Flop: ($0.47) 5 9 A (3 players)
BB checks, CO bets $0.33, Hero calls $0.33, BB folds

Turn: ($1.13) 5 (2 players)
CO checks, Hero checks

Turn is sort of a pot control / bluff induce move.

River: ($1.13) Q (2 players)
CO bets $0.81, Hero calls $0.81

Now this is tricky. Although this is sort of the bluff I was trying to induce, but now the queen means that we split with every ace we used to beat. He makes a large bet, so assuming he's a good player (which I didn't somehow) we shouldn't expect him to bluff much knowing that most aces will split, right? I don't know. He could have a busted FD too. Do you like the river call?

Hi,

I would personally prefer betting more often on the turn and then taking my free showdown, since he would most likely c/c turn with worse Ax hands, he can also c/c turn with draws and if he has complete air he would usually not bluff river. So you end up just giving free river card that can improve his range.
If you check turn I would likely call river, although I would expect to see a lot AQ+, but since players can sometimes valuebet theirself AJ/AT or make some strange bluff then call should be fine.

best regards,

Of course! Thanks! :f_smile:
