I think I potentially left some value here. I was hoping he bet on turn so I could check-raise him on turn but he didn't bet.

This is very annoying in poker, when we hit a hand, and we just keep waiting for the villain to come drooling and in the end, nothing comes of it.😁🤣

 

[AKQ]

always think what is my opponent holding
What is his range?

I understand the dynamics of limping from the small and checking out of position on the flop
That is a majority rule correct play
BUT the facts are these
you have the ace ten so most likely he does not have either

So why would he bet
when his most likely range is consisted of draws , bottom or 2nd pair
When the ace comes you can bet and still get value from that range of drawing hands like j8 87 qj kj or any 2 diamonds
but you have to do it on the turn NOT the river

 

[AKQ]

oh and go 3/4 pot bet out of position on the turn don't go small

Probably you got the most out of it .
Maybe he would have called a bet on the flop or even checkraised cause of some draw.
Imo the only spot where you could have possibly got more chips.
I don't see getting any more value on the river.
Think he would have folded to any bet there.

The longer I play the less frequently I try to get trappy. You will want to mix up your play and check this flop sometimes, but I'd like to lead out with 40% bet on the flop rather than check-calling. If you check the flop and now hit two pair I am not checking again. There is now a flush draw and a bazillion straight draws. At this point you need to protect your hand. Checking the river is really only a bluff catcher, but I would not expect villain to bet here, but I may bet 30- 35% hoping to get some value against small pocket pairs and Ax hands.

Preflop
You are facing an UTG min-raise, and I would just fold ATo from SB. If it was ATs, I am much more onboard with calling, and maybe also AJo. But this I think is to wide and a long term losing play.

Flop
Standard to check to the preflop raiser here. Dont see any reason to donk bet top pair, when his range contain all the overpairs.

Turn
Great card for you obviously, not only because you now have top two, but also because it might have improved him to a second best hand, if he has AK, AQ or AJ. I think, if he had JJ-KK, he would have bet the flop, and if he had a draw like QJ or KJ, he would also have bet the flop. So I think, that at this point he either have top pair, which he is going to bet, or he have a marginal made hand like 55-88, which you are not getting any value from regardless. And for that reason I like going for a check-raise here, as I assume, you did.

River
Unfornutaly he checked back, and at this point I think, we can narrow his range to pretty much only marginal made hands like 55-88. He is not going to bet those, if you check again, but he is also not going to call any substantial bet. So I think, the play here is to make a really small bet like 20% pot and hope, he get curious or maybe even raise as a bluff.

We want to be thinking about how our hands block their hands- Checking flop means the V is protecting or is very weak- therefore we can lead bet the turn targeting specifically the Ax check backs - The V has some draws they may call with as well-

 

[spunka]

When villan checks after flop, u should Bet some kind of feeler bet Maybee in the 5k - 8k range, you have to find out how strong he is, if you like your hand there, and as a protection against draws ( flush and straights …. ) you make villan see all cards and that he have missed for free.

 

[I Live Poker]

This is a very specific spot that maybe a flop donk bet would make your opponent bluff the turn with some airs or small pairs, and yet the check raise would not be as effective.

Preflop I think we can 3-bet this ATo, AJo is a close call. ATo doesn’t flop well but the two high cards do have a lot of equity when get called.

Perhaps some of the posters aren't reading stack sizes & positions of players in the hand.
This thread is inspiring.... it tells me POKER is NOT dead

 

[Marshmalo1994]

I would also have checked on the turn.
Maybe I'd consider a bet on the flop, to protect the hand, just in case a K, Q or J falls on the turn.
