[10NL] Do you raise with a set on the river?

[10NL] Do you raise with a set on the river?

Opponent is very fishy, and likes to call. I figured I could probably get him to call with a two-pair on the river like AK or AQ. But am I just trapping myself in case he has the straight or a higher set?

I don't think we should be betting flop here vs an UTG range?


i thought he asked about the river


Your call is ok if UTG is fish but if UTG is a reg player 66 is fold pre flop. When the flop conteins AXX, KXX, AKX, AQX and the first position checks is because he has AX, KX, with a weak kicker. So Its check behind on the flop. When fish checks turn he has nothing so tu can steal the pot betting 1/2 and pot river. 66 doesnt have showdown value it must be a bluff if u dont hit the 6 on the river. U dont want to lose against 77, 88, 9X.

To answer your question yes is raise ... he is betting 60% which is weak.... stay attentive to the sizings. 1/3, 1/2 and 2/3 usually is not strong. 3/4 and pot bets are very strong.

Depends at equilibrium the BTN can call raise or fold 66 but you can chose a single action depending on how utg plays. Everything else is solid


The call is okay vs fishy UTG.
Raise on the river and you can fold against 3bet.


Equilibrium doesnt exist against fish


X flop, and yes raise river. Fold to any 3-bet.

I know which is why you should adjust and do whatever action exploits the fish.


I guess you don't think he has QQ a lot of the time here but it looks like he could from checking UTG on that board, like QQ , JJ, TT on flop, then when he bets river its like QQ often. I don't know if generally he is tricky enough to check AK, so i expect to see KQ instead of AK for two pairs, so u can count the combos of the QQ and KQ and maybe decide if he has AJ or something like that and weight it toward raise or call or fold if you are courageous.

Yep, just like fishes will X with weak aces. 😉
