Hi guys I recently played an interesting hand at a 2/5 NL table and would like some feedback on the way I approached the hand.

Starting stacks:

Hero: $500
Villain: $280

MP2 limps. Hero in LP opens to $30 holding A:spade: Q:diamond: Villain in CO and MP2 both call.

The flop comes: 3:spade: 4:heart: T:club: $97 in pot.

MP2 checks. Hero bets $50. Villain calls. MP2 folds.

The turn brings a T:diamond: $197 in pot.

It goes check. Check.

The river brings the A:club:

Hero bets $100. Villain shoves for his remaining $200. The reason I value bet this river was because villain's flop calling range consists of A3s, A4s, A2s, 56s, and Tx hands. All these hands are suited because villain wouldn't call pre-flop without a suited weak hand. Villain is loose passive aggressive. He chases draws and commits to them on the turn. I have seen him call a value bet on the flop with a weak draw and commit his stack on the turn with the same draw. His shove here feels like Ax and Tx type hands and given I'm getting nearly 5 to 1 on a call it's hard to fold here.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Easy fold.

You're the pre-flor raiser and he IS putting you in hands exactly like AQ, AK, AJ. It seems like he went for pot control with a weaker pair and hit his two pair on the river, raise-valueing to get called by the very range of hands i mentioned...

Huh? Hero will still win if villain has A3 or A4.

I would fold here. Villain got a 10 here most probably that is why he checked on the turn. That's weird right? I would have checked the river though and see what he does.

Pre flop was good, but there is no reason to c-bet there. Definitely shutting down when the board pairs and NEVER calling that shove.

Wow! I missed that completely. I'm coming back to poker after two years but that was lame even so...


I'm not sure anymore.... But now that i managed to see what's going on... I would call most of the time in that spot based on villain's reads...

What?? He played like with 10,33 or 44. You should just check and call his bet on river

It was a smart value-bet IMO.... And it's the shove on the river that puts him on trips.

I would have cc the river.

Since you bet the river, you have to call and hope its a fight of kickers.

I agree with you too, it was the best choice he can do is hope that he got like AJ or smaller kicker :)
