Trips on River facing a shove

I think you could keep on betting OTT. You might still get calls from some weaker made hands and single diamond hands. Also if you check here you will expose yourself to bluffs. OTR villain could have a weaker Kx but full houses and flushes are possible too.

Basically the way he played this hand doesn't make much sense. Either he slowplayer or then is overplaying a made hand or he has a total bluff (3bet bluffs OTR are very rare). I think it is safer to assume he is strong and just fold OTR.

I checked this with Snowie. It would cbet the flop only 25%pot (probably to keep villain's calling range wide), then check the turn (betting 25% again has pretty similar EV) and then OTR vs villains donk it would just call.

I agree with double barrelling on the turn. If he raised I would fold. On the river I would bet/fold because a flush and full houses are possible.

We can barrel turn.
I don't like the river raise. Just call. With raising you will face only better hands.

My plan in those situations is to bet/fold the turn. As played, I think raising the river is an overplay on that board.

Do you check behind OTT thinking he has a flush? If yes, why do you raise river?

Because our hand improved.

yes, but I mean we are still behind the flush

I am just kidding.

ahhh .. I was thinking but wtf

I have discovered an undo button in the PS software. It is marvelous. Perhaps the software developers put it there for testing purposes. Whatever. I don't know. The thing is that you have 0.8 seconds to change your mind, i.e. to make an undo, and you get to see the opponents cards while you make the decision. Just press Ctrl+0 - Shift= - Alt Gr 5 and the button is visible.

used to be something similar in ultimate bet poker back then ♦

They say Howard Lederer is a crook. Russ hamilton is the real crook.
