I wouldn't call river AP, but I would have raised turn and followed up with a river bet.


Never a call, but might be a raise if V's tiny sizing means he's weak AND if he can actually fold weak SDV. As stated above, I'd prefer a turn raise, though.


H calls
V shows busted straight draw.
Complains that he can’t get me to fold. This was our first hand together.

I considered a raise on the turn. I didn’t have any good reason not to, other than that’s just not the way I play. Next time though it’s getting bigger.


great result but do you know why you called? is this something repeatable?


The title says it all. Something something pot odds. I was getting 6 to one the river. All the draws bricked out. I think he bets bigger if he had trips. A 9 or pocket pair might check.

Is it repeatable? Idk this is not the first time I bluff caught with Ace high. I’m not always right. It probably works best if a player has history with V. Or when players are great at hand reading.

I posted to see what others thought about this play to see if I should continue. But it seems like something that should only be done rarely.

Most people thought a raise on the turn was the best play.


Grunch:

PRE - If your $25 open from the BTN is getting three callers, raise bigger.

FLOP - good check back.

TURN - V1 looks FOS, IMO. I'd be sorely tempted to raise over that bet.

RIVER - Ehhh....conceivably we have enough SDV to call, but I don't love it.

I'd have no problem barreling river if we raised turn. As played, I don't love raising river after we check back flop and flat call his tiny turn bet. I think a raise now gets looked up a lot.


Raise turn all day
