$3.50 NLHE HU Tourney: hyper turbo river decision

[BlueNowhere]

readless at this point. Overbet river I'm thinking I have to be behind at this point. Flushdraw got there as well and I don't even hold any blockers to it. Can I fold it? I wasn't going to raise because I'm probably in trouble if I do. I checked turn to allow villian to barrel at river and I could raise him and maybe get value from 9x type hands, I thought he'd fold these to a bet on river and his weak flop bet was to protect a marginal hand. Should I have bet the turn as well just to protect from a FD?

Being a hyper turbo it's a surprise to me that all the money didn't go in. As played you can't raise the river but I don't really see how you can find a fold either. Just gotta pay him off even though the overbet looks strong.

 

[BlueNowhere]

If he hadn't made mistake of checking turn all chips would've gone in. His line just smelt so strong and I couldn't really see much I beat. Overbet felt like he was trying to make up for a mistake earlier in thehand in not building a pot.

His line is more odd than strong although it seems like something has changed between the flop and the river, otherwise minbet -> check -> overbet makes no sense at all. Really only a FD that's hit on the river makes much sense but being readless in a $3 tourney he could be overplaying random crap or taking a stab with nothing often enough to mean you really can't justify folding the river, even though a lot of stuff you're beating like Ax hands should be 3-betting pre and I have no idea why a 9x hand would want to overbet the river.

Results spoiler (highlight): Wow he played that so badly.

 

[BlueNowhere]

Yea I thought he had FD or a 2p type hands. Discounted 22 and 44 because that is an obvious shove pre. Yea it probably is just a sigh and call knowing I'm going to be behind a decent % of time.

What are thoughts on my checking turn?

 

[duggs]

Id prefer a bet on the turn, dont really like the check, he is def going to call with a ton that is way behind you

 

[BlueNowhere]

Yea maybe a mistake on my part. Figured I could let him bluff/thin vb river and I could re-raise a blank river and not really rep much and be called by his thin value bets. Also if he checks to me I could make a decent bet and be called. Obviously had to re-evaluate this when he spazzzes out on river. That was my thinking anyhow.

Bet the turn with close to 100% of your range

What are thoughts on my checking turn?

Reasons to bet turn:

- Value
- Easier to ship it in on a blank river
- Our hand is pretty well disguised seeing as we could be betting turn after a minbet -> check with pretty much anything

Reasons to check turn:

- Uhh

He takes a really weird line with the flopped set that saves you from busting. You should be betting the turn for value 100% of the time especially in a Hyper Turbo. Not much else to say really, you technically got lucky that he played this so bad.
