I hardly find hands he may bluff on this river, now the question is, how many hands we beat now? Given his action i dont think hes betting anything less then 2 pair , maybe Aj, AQ, KJs but is unlikely. I would probably fold.


Flop smashes his UTG open/call3bet range.

I would be extremely careful. I'd even go for a check/call river, he may go for a thin value with KQ, or bluff with missed straight or diamonds.


Is there a way to put this into a solver?


im pure calling this with 0 reads but its definitely not printing. we might run into AJ, AQ and KT but we atleast block them all. he might have a low suited connector that missed the FD. he also could be bluffing TT, JT,89 etc... if i thought it was an opponent that never bluffs this spot then you can get away with folding. I dont expect to see any 88,JJ,QQ or T9s but expect to see rivered 2pair or straight which we block, or a bluff



This is a zero call in a balanced strategy.
I believe that in a real game, it is even closer to folding because there is even less pool bluffing.


I call and he have AJ. Seeing today I like the fold River

would be illustrative to see what OOP is supposed to be bluffing. Should show how -EV calling would be here if they don't find the random bluffs solver shows up with.

tx, i guess solver always calling our AK cause villain is valueing AK himself. but most ppl in game not gonna bet like JT TT KJ KQ to make our call profitable right.


I would check flop. If you are going to bet this sizing seems wrong, probably something like 1/3 or 1/4 is enough.
River looks like a call. We block bunch of value, he could value bet same hand and most players can bluff with 89s 99/TT on this runout.
