€20 NLHE 6-max: Getting value on the river

€20 NL HE 6-max: Getting value on the river

Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 30/22/1.71

First of all, some info on the villain. I had notes on him that he was a total calling station, and will chase flush draws all in.

Here I am interesting in bet-sizing mostly on the river, but flop/turn as well

Flop/turn bets are fine. I think no matter the size of your river bet, it won't really influence whether he will call or not. So bet ~pot.

+1.. Have to use those notes. Thats what were take them for. Shove and collect the chips.

Ok, everyone in agreement so I can give up the result.

I bet the pot, he folded, hence the thread. I guess he didn't have a flush draw after all.

Now I think, maybe I was wrong to bet that much, if he had a flush he would raise a low bet for sure, and if he didn't he would fold to a pot-sized bet.

But might call smaller bet with say a 3€ bet, that looks scared and might even induce a bluff

Which reasoning is better

I highly doubt villain will be tricky enough to bluff a weakish looking bet. You're always better off going for max value vs a calling station. In this instance you were up against the bottom of his range unfortunately but it's still a profitable line.

Mmmh. Looks like he was drawing flush or so, i would try bet big size on the river, he maybe got the flush.
