Will he bluff the river if you check? Will he fold a better hand if you bet? If the answer is no to those, I check.


Not sure how he plays AA/KK on the flop, but would think he could have a mix of those with AQK type hands. I'd prob just check


Interesting spot. I think our hand is too good to bluff. We can considering calling river.


Does anyone else lead this flop knowing V knows this flop hit us more than it hits him, so he is very likely to check this back? Lets extract some value and then be able to get most of it in on the turn if we want.

Gross spot on the river here. Betting is not getting paid off by a worse hand, so you are pretty much forced to check. What to do if he rips the river is the issue.


Have to start with a check. Very unlikely he's valuebetting a set unless it's specifically like AA99. Therefore our hand is pipped by any straight. The question then is which straights he's valuebetting with and how frequently he'll play blockers. Without strong indicators, the weak indicator that it's the last round of the night and so people might want to make hero plays lends me to calling. Depending on bet size and speed.


I might’ve bet the flop. He might’ve folded AAxyz faceup from the button and disgustedly announced he was done.

AP it’s a check hoping for a check back and AQ goot
