This is a venetian deepstacks monday tourney.
Blinds are 500/1,000 with a 100 ante.
I've amassed a big stack ~100k and this table is pretty easy.
I raise in the HJ with to 2,200. CO flats. He is the only other stack who threatens me we are about same size stack he was recently moved here so I don’t know much about him but he seems decent and tightish.
Pot 6,800 Flop
I Cbet 3,500. He flats
Pot 13,800. Turn
I decide to check/trap. It seems like no matter what he has checking is best because: If he’s got something like a straight draw I want to give him a chance to improve, if he’s got a pair or trips I don’t wanna scare him off…if he’s got a flush I’m in a dream situation and can count on him putting bets in at some points. and if he was simply floating my Cbet my only chance of making chips is to show weakness and let him bet.
But….sadly he checks behind.
River
Not a great card. But also I doubt he called my flop bet with a T unless he was floating. And I doubt he has very many 6s in his preflop flatting range. So it’s not the absolute worst but obviously I can’t bet out and hope to get called by too much that I’m beating...so I check.
He bets 10k into 13,800. This is a polarizing bet. I don’t think much about it at all and toss in the call. Seems like a trivial call to me; I have the best possible bluff catcher. He turns over Quad Tens! I guess I lost the minimum; thank goodness for that river T which totally killed his action.
Question: this river is an auto call spot, right? At what bet size do we consider folding to a river bet? Also the turn….what do we think about checking turn?
