I have been re-watching the past stream of 2018 wsop Collosus and there is a hand that has been bothering me.
This hand is taken from the Final Table. The players has been playing a straight-forward tight game. The hand is taken from rather early-ish coverage of the Final Table. 8 players remaining. Pay jump from 8th to 7th is not that exciting.
Wrutzel, the effective stack with just shy of 40 Big Blinds, I profile him as a tight aggressive, raises from the Hijack with 2.5 BB.
Liu--the guy who infamously celebrated too early--defends from the Big Blind with . His stack is more than double the stack of Wrutzel. I profile him as the type of player who doesn't diligently defends his Big Blind and at this hand he has a tell of putting chip to protect his hand and wearing sunglasses which means he likes his hand. I'm not sure if other player is aware of this tell.
Flop (Pot : 6.75 BB)
Check Check
Turn (Pot : 6.75 BB)
Liu bets 2.25 BB. Wrutzel calls. He has 35.5 BB left.
River (Pot : 11.25 BB)
Liu checks
I have two questions.

- Is Liu's bet on the turn is way too small? I understand that it's a low board and sometimes the small bet does the job--but if we consider that Wrutzel's a tight aggressive--I don't think the bet makes senses because I don't see Wrutzel folding any of his range. If he has a Qx, Kx, Ax, he won't fold it and I think he is happy with the board condition (?) if he has a small pocket.
- Does Liu left money on the table for checking the river? I feel like the entire board misses Wrutzel's range and a bet on the river may make senses to get Wrutzel to fold.
