Should I have bet more on the river?

He's bet half of his stack by the turn, there's not really much more you can bet. Would you get the extra $2.20 by putting him in?

OK, I started playing NL full ring 2 weeks ago, so I figure it's probably best to start posting in here.

No specific reads on the guy - in 30 hands the only hand that ended up being shown down by him was a flop all-in call with QTo on a Qxx board.

I decided to play this hand pretty tricky. Only read on villain is that he reraised preflop with AKo and seemed mildly aggressive.

It was kind of a crazy line to take but ended up working really well. Is this results oriented or was it a good play?
My thinking on the river check was that he'll almost always value bet with AJ+ and my play was odd so he might bluff at it too. Is just calling the river weak?

The board is as disconnected as it gets (there's practically zero chance you're looking at 56 here) and therefore you're only behind to a higher trips. I'm raising the river every time, and if he has trips, oh well.

Villain has been extremely tight, his only action a few hands prior to this where he stacked someone set over set.

My thoughts behind this hand are that he's very unlikely to be raising packing a 7. The only hands that have me beat straight down are Aces and AK, and that I may be able to put him off his Ax.

The turn bet is suspicious in that it can either be a value bet with AK or a weak blocking bet with a non-ace. I don't think he's betting $2 into a $2.30 pot with AA for the flopped full house, I wouldn't be surprised if he was blocking with QQ/JJ or going for value with AK/KK.

It could also just be a standard c-bet.

Yeh, the flop call wasn't perfect. I don't really think I'm getting the price in the pot seeing as he probably has a high ace.

My question, as SS pointed out, is what to do with the turn bet. I reckon he'd possibly bet a bit stronger for value, seeing as I called a pot bet on the flop. In the actual hand, I raised to $10 and got a fold.

Been on table around 5 minutes and never played against villain so no read. My personal thought was that the push on the river smelt of a scary card bluff.

My guess is an overpair, he pushed when you checked the river. If you hit a set and boated up, you would bet that river. Prob not TT, could be but doubt it. Most likely an overpair.

Did you call? What was the outcome?

Spoilered to not bias any further discussion: He had AdQd and I won

souLjah posted:

You think thats ak or something like that pushing?

My thought process is that an overpair doesn't shove like that - it wouldn't make financial sense. If you have an overpair on that board, you've a) probably raised the flop or turn and b) will try to extract value. It really reeks of "please go away and give me the money :("

The more I look at it now, I agree with your assumption. I would have popped that flop with an overpair.

I'm glad. Since I moved up in stakes (MTT win) I've had a real torrid time of it on the cash tables and it's re-assuring that my thought processes aren't too out of wack.

My 9th hand with the villain so severe lack of reads.

If my math-fu is correct, you're calling $24 on the flop to win $36. It becomes $50 if Jpok calls all in. You can also assume (correctly, it turns out), given his aggressive line on the flop, that Bost will likely donate more on the turn should you hit your flush. I don't think the call is awful, but personally I'd be throwing it away vs. a bet and a raise.

Against the turn bet, I'm throwing away all the time. It's likely you're only drawing to an 8 or a spade, and if you're lucky, you may be drawing to a 5 also. If you're unlucky, you're drawing to just a spade.
