yes its fine. if villian is willing to call a huge overbet OTT then he probably not folding the river. I assume u won the hand btw and that the board was rainbow?

provided there was no flush on the board, congratulations on meeting this calling station and doubling up. you may want to look him up any other time you play, and try to have a seat at his table(s).

btw, the stox converter has an option to convert the hand specifically for cardschat - makes it waaaay more beautiful than yours currently looks :)

Egads -- you're right. That is ugly looking. Here, let me try again, now that I figured out where I'm supposed to copy from.

Now what do you think? I wasn't too scared of the flush since I have the As. I may have slowed down if the river was a spade.

On the river, should I go all in or check and try to catch a bluff?

Normally I would not overbet the pot, but here it's oke because If he calls an overbet on the turn, he will probably do it too on the river.. Nice example of in which situations to make an overbet

no i dont like your river bet, its not likely that he has the flush and im not telling you to be nitty either with a set of aces, but you already overbet the turn.....which is meh....but i would have C/C, Think about this...if you shove on the river what is he going to call you with, if he has any brains he is going to call with only a flush here. 10-J, Q-10 of hearts is def in his range here, as sad as it sounds. A gutshot straight draw and a flushdraw on the turn for the oppurtunity to stack you sounds right to some (not to me) i would have folded the turn if i held it to your overbet, but other players at this level LOVE to fish. K-Q of hearts could be in his range as well. I dont mind your overbet on the turn, but the river shove was not a good play imo. Whats wrong with a check/call? hes probably going to go for value on the river and you would be getting value on your hand if he did so. Think about it shoving here 80% of the time if the guy calls he has the flush. I vote C/C

I think you nailed it here. It can't be right for him to call the turn bet since he's not getting implied odds to stack me, but he will likely only call the river if he's got me beat, so my all-in bet doesn't seem too good in hindsight. I like the C/C line you recommend better.

he calls contbet flop, possibly pulls a spades flush-draw or plays something like AK.
your play is correct

Even with his stats, your still talking about 5NL in which overbetting in those situations is almost always a good play. The cold call on the turn is a little scary but that could easily be a lower set, k/q, AK etc. Also you have to consider the fact that if you check call here your only getting bet into by a flush or a set most likely in which case your going to lose value by not getting paid off by the Kx hands that are likely in his range. Maybe I just give stats not enough credit at 5 and 10NL but that just seemed to be my experience grinding through those limits.

Great bet IMO:eek:
