V probably checks behind you with a weak top pair. If he bets, it's very read dependent whether to call. It's pretty easy to put him on nothing but a busted flush draw and he's trying to steal.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-39393746181000398902014-09-19T10:12:26.661-07:002014-09-19T10:12:26.661-07:00Thanks for the sound advice.

What does the villain call with on this river? May be AJ of hearts? Would villain call this river with pocket 8's, 9's or 10's? <br /><br />By betting this river, villain folds just about all hands you beat and only calls with hands that beat you. <br /><br />The best play on the river is to check. If the villain is capable of bluffing to your check, call any bet he makes. If the villain likes to chase on early streets but will only bet this river if he has a made hand, then fold.<br /><br />But by betting the river, you don't even give the villain the chance to bluff. You are making a bet that will only get called if you are beat.Iron Mike Sharpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13335610203291728321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-8357190638644478392014-09-19T04:27:03.756-07:002014-09-19T04:27:03.756-07:00How would you play this hand?

It almost reminds me of the movie " Casablanca " everyone is looking for there letters of transit ( a big win ) A little bit of heaven in see-die Bell Gardens. You of course are Rick but where is your Elyse.

I was torn between asking for a table change or staying and hoping she'd pay me off again.

But, he was also an advocate of the fold or raise and never open limp. It also forces you to play a lesser amount of hands as a by product. I think the quote was, "if its not worth raising, its not worth it at all"<br /><br />Not sure I could of shown your level of restraint with hell woman though. Well played Sir.mrben09https://www.blogger.com/profile/10998071037735403332noreply@blogger.com
