I missed some value AA NL5

Posted 8 years ago

Please put some comments Smile Do you think my line is okey? How would you play it ? I actually think he missed FD and bet river but then no matter what I have to raise ( not big ) to extract more value from Qx ?

You're better off betting the river for value (since you don't have a Queen yourself and that adds more combos or Qx in his range) then to check call or check raise.

When you have AQ KQ type hands here you can bet again for value vs worse Qx and second pairs. When you have a TPGK type hand then x/calling is better because you block his Qx hands and let him bluff at you ( if you bet there with the TPGK hand you'll value own yourself)

-All that goes out the door however if he's a loose passive fish who won't bluff you but will call down way too light. Just bet all three streets vs those guys and fold to a raise ( passive guys don't bluff raise)

Raise bigger pre. Minraising the SB is (IMO) a significant mistake. Player dependent on the river. If he has Qx you should bet, if he has busted draws and will bet them on the river then you should check. Half pot seems like a weakish made hand. Bluffs would go bigger and so would value hands generally wanting to make more money on the river. Check raising on the river is a strong play here but don't look to do it all the time as you are relying on someone to bet worse to do it. His strong river range is some kind of diamonds (A6dd 45dd), 2 pairs, 78cc... I think given the passive line he has taken on this hand expect a one pair hand that wants showdown and bet accordingly rather than checking. I think you were lucky he was as strong as QJ here and bet it.
