bet more on turn. you can bet as much as 120 on turn vs general population and get called down pretty light.

I would bet about 80 - 100 on turn depending on how quickly he called flop.

Looking at how the hand is played I am definatley not folding the river bet.

While it is hard to find hands that we beat on the river you also have to think about what Villain is representing

General population would not bet this much for value, and sometimes they would check raise as well.

Most of the time I think villain has a Qx hand in this spot and got scared of the A so he just bets full pot because he is worried he messed up how he played his hand but also many other random hands like T9 can play this crazy as well.

Hello all,

bet more on turn. you can bet as much as 120 on turn vs general population and get called down pretty light.

The river is very nasty spot. I don't think often villain is going to turn in to a bluff weak made hand. There are basicly no draws from the flop. They are made with the 8 on the turn or they made a pair with it. We got the weakest two pairs. I can't see many hands that we are ahead. I would tight fold here.

Guys if you have any questions, do not hesitate to write in this thread by clicking the button or
