Rivered TPGK facing river jam on wet board

Rivered TPGK facing river jam on wet board

So... villain is a complete unknown but has normal looking stats after like 10 hands. I actually like my line up until the river but with hindsight I'm thinking I should just x/c and give him a chance to bluff his missed draws. Value betting there is probably a bit too thin, but I was hoping to get called by Tx after every draw missed.

We're getting such good odds on this river call but is a random 10nl player ever bluffing here? And he's certainly not value jamming worse, so do we just sigh and fold?

No. In my experience at microstakes river raise = value almost always. In my pool at least I would consider calling only vs a good "reg".


I think your initial river bet is way too thin. I would much rather x/c or x/f. Based on his sizing.

Snap folding as played.


Not a big fan of the flop XR, just because your opponent has the big pot range advantage here. As played, river looks like a x/c vs x/f or b/c. Once your opponent raises to a sizing you're not supposed to fold to, after how you played the previous 3 streets, it's a fold.


Pretty easy fold.
