AJ hits two-pair on the River

AJ hits two-pair on the River

Game is $2-$100 spread-limit. Villain has $300, I cover.

Folds to me in the CO with AhJh and I raise to $10. Only Villain in SB calls.

FLOP: Ac9d3c (pot: $20, heads-up). He checks, I down-bet to $8, he calls.

TURN: Ac9d3c Kh (pot: $35, heads-up). He checks, I check back.

RIVER: Ac9d3c Kh Jc (pot: $35, heads-up).

Villain leads for $10.

How much should we raise to— $30, $70, or $110???

UPDATE: I raised to $50. Villain reraised to $100. I LACK DISCIPLINE and call and he has Kc9c.


PRE - I like it, assuming $10 is the standard open in this game.

FLOP - Think we can c-bet bigger when we're HU and IP, with TPGK, especially in a game where it seems like no one likes to fold, and you're playing against the SB who capped his range by flatting pre.

TURN - Y u check? Y u no barrel? C'mon, man.

FLOP - Must raise. I like to go at least 4x with river raises, unless I'm trying to induce a re-raise or there wouldn't be enough stack depth left behind to fold to a 3B. So...$40.


flop I bet 10, never checking turn, raise to 50 now and shutdown
