I think about bet on turn, maybe it's value bet vs me? check is optimal because jj, tt, don't call 2 barrels.

Wtf? I don't really like how passive you played this hand and folding is absolutely terrible after playing this passive. He is going to have a lot of worse Ax in his range.

I just don't get this, why were we so scared? Why raise AJ if we are going to play it like this? There has to be something I'm overlooking or some information missing.

Wait....what?

Talk about super passive brotha! You need to bet the turn and the river, as you're getting value from worse AX hands here. You missed a ton of a value and to make things worse you check/folded the river. Either I'm missing something, or you just went super nit for no reason.

Regardless of the notes, there are so many value AX hands he thinks that are ahead when you check that you have to call the river. Almost always.

So he donks dry pots with bluffs? Either way he never donk bet because he was in position and you gave up initiative. Not sure if you don't know correct terminology or if it is just getting lost in translation.

i said fold on river before.. im actually changinh my mind... if he had flush draw turn and cbets with air he is def betting turn.

river is a bluff knowing that information

knowing someone has bluff in their range we can def staart opening up our calling range on river

yes it is really played badly, usually I choose not such line of a draw, has been confident in a rate of the opponent on a flop and turn. and having received on River I have already not been confident in force of the hand

Just understand how you played the hand.

If I know my opponent has bluffs in his range in the turn or river, I'm eager to check/call as sometimes players perceive this as weakness, but your range in this given spot is just way too strong to fold ever. He hit runner runner flush, so be it. If you want to induce, stick to the plan.

I see this a lot were lets say you have KJ on the BTN against UTG raise, flop is K83 he checks you bet he calls. Turn is a 2 which is a dud, he checks you check. River is a 10, he bets and sometimes players fold here.

Obviously this is a random scenario, but the line doesn't make sense. If the story is just so odd that you say "wtf is this?!", just call. And given the spot you dont even have to be right that often.

Right Aces, you would expect a barrel if he turned back door hearts. He does have a bluffing range here but it isn't that wide with the line he took(He would probably bet a little larger with most bluffs). Villains bet is more likely a thin value bet and since we are so under repped he can be thin value betting pretty wide. Basically any Ax should bet river and if villain is being ballsy he can take this line with a hand like KQ because our range doesn't look like Ax at all and looks more like a middle pocket pair that is trying to get to showdown.

It is also hard to say if villain is thinking on this level but since we raised UTG we don't really have a lot of weak Aces that take this line so thats even more of a reason for villain to go for thin value against hands like 1010-QQ that are getting sticky.

if u call amd win ... is it really played badly??? perhaps against his weaker range u played it great because you will induce bluffs.

so why did u play it alright.

turn is pot control and weaker opponents will interpret this as weakness and will induce a bluff.

so you got your fish on a hook, you just didnt catch him

I don't mind the flop check on that board. Think it's fine sometimes. But by the river, bet something. Sometime to try and get a crying calling from 9x or other mid pairs, or bet small to induce a bluff raise. I can't wrap my head around the c/f on the river. I'm sure others are saying the same above, but haven't bothered to read yet.
