SB checks, Hero bets $3.52 (All-In), SB calls $3.52

Total pot: $10.15 | Rake: $0.50

SB is 24 / 13 over only 40 hands, no notes.

Obviously his range on flop and turn includes:
- sets
- straight draws
- AK, AQ, AJ

On the river, I wasn't sure if I get called by AK/AQ and I don't see what else I beat but I still shoved since I had a feeling he doesn't have it (I would expect value bet).

1. Is river way too thin? Checking better?

Let me guess he turned over AJ...

You can't ever ever check this river behind unless you have a read on your opponent. Only hand in his range that beats you is AJ and 99. Although AQ, AK are unlikely.

I wouldn't shove river, looks very strong and folds out A10 and under, probably bet $2 and sigh-call a shove.

AA/JJ/99/AJ all beat me. I have learned not to assume everybody 3bets AA.

Well if u assume he has JJ and AA in his range then you are playing scared poker and will likely miss out on good value spots. You played hand good OP.

A good player will probabley fold on the river. There is only one hand he can beat and that is AQ. The alarm bell should had start to ringing when a decent TAG shoved the river. But at this lvls betting for value with every oportunity is pure gold. I think he would had called even with AT. PPl at this lvls hate to be bluffed.

It's close between betting $1.75ish or shoving...shoving probably better.
