Bet the J. Villain rarely will have connected with that card on the river. You're also in position. Only a couple hands would check/call you all the way down like that... Any type of flush draw tbh, but only a couple hands could call you on the river -- QhJh KhJh AhJh Jh10h... all of which are possible, but not likely

A4s might call a thin value bet, but I cant really see anything else, maybe a Q8 or 78s in there somewhere... I figured I wasnt getting called with worse much, so I checked... but meh.

I think it was fine the way you played it. If you were putting villain on a flush draw, then I really like the size of the turn bet. If it's too small, it's possible (s)he could decide to raise you and force you to make a tougher decision, if it's too large, then (s)he's probably not calling. Here, I'm assuming that villain is capable of raising you just on a draw.

Of course, had the river been a heart or an Ace, then that would have been unlucky. Let me ask you this, had villain bet on the river, are you calling? If villain is thinking beyond 1st level, (s)he must be thinking the only way they can win the pot is to fire out. But, it seems like a passive player that isn't going to get out of line.

So, well done then.

:party:

i would bet like 35bb on the flop since the board is draw heavy so you want to extract max value right now since a lot of bad cards could come on the future streets. otherwise i think you played it well

looks fine. value bet on the river would be pretty thin, but ok if you know opp is real loose, calls down a lot, or thinks you're especially suspect.

i think you played absolutly right on here, if you played with them on the table for some time, so you could estimate how loose he plays

I would of flatted pre flop, other than that it's alright. I'd probably bet river thinly for calls from A8/99/66/77.

I do not know . Playing deep with ante is different from normal play. I 3-betting with TT there is 50/50 option. If there are more fish left to act than call and try to get a set to clean the table. Deep, with this many bad players I would expect my 3-bet to be called a lot and the board to be bad most of the time. And as you saw that board was one of the worse. Wet and coordinated.

No weaker hand will call you on the river.

I'm with thegreekdude. I'd flat call that hand preflop. I know UTG raiser is loose, but it is still an UTG open which will be tighter than normal. You also have to worry about people after you. If someone 4-bets then you have to fold as you won't have enough to setmine against AA and KK.

As for the river as played, bet $68 there and expect a little bit more money.

On the turn I might actually check instead of betting as a standard. However, since you view him as more of the station type, betting is good.

Well according to the conservative logic if would have been correct to flat call pre flop and see a cheap flop without risking in too much money pre flop. It is usually standard when utg raises (usually a sign a strength).

But people who like to drive in the fast will look at pocket 10's as a good enough hand to take some risk in a cash game and make a raise. This might sometimes lead to their downfall but other times they will also win a handsome pot. It's all about doing the right things in the right moment and also having a bit of luck.
Like you were lucky that nobody had your hand beat pre flop, and they could also not beat your hand post flop by catching the card they wanted. :laugh: .Nice hand sir. :)
