    Default River value shove

    Villain is 27/19 with a 3b of 5.3 over 122
    he seems like a standard tag

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG ($100)
    MP ($164.80)
    CO ($262.15)
    Hero (Button) ($105.25)
    SB ($108.90)
    BB ($100)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 6, A
    3 folds, Hero bets $2.50, SB calls $2, 1 fold

    Flop: ($6) A, 7, 6 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $3, SB calls $3

    Turn: ($12) 6 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $8, SB calls $8

    River: ($28) K (2 players)
    SB bets $19, Hero raises to $91.75 (All-In)

    now, he could flat 77 on the flop and keep slowplaying on the turn since he's not in danger of being outdrawn
    but AK/KK/AA are just not realistic because he would 3b those
    what, if anything, am I getting paid off here by? 76/65?
    seems like a spot where I should think about flatting, but it just feels nitty as hell

    meh he probably bet/calls AQ/AJ here even though it's awful so I don't hate shoving, but I'd probably raise small.

    I think a shove is fine.

    Looks fine.

    Not shoving here is ridiculous.

    Would be a more interesting/closer spot if you had AK.

    He could also think you're an ace with less than a king kicker that's trying to push him off a split pot, if he thinks you're capable of doing that.

    It's not ridiculous at all. Shoving AK here without some dynamic would be retarded, with this hand it's close.

    I really don't think this particular hand is close at all. You're probably right that AK isn't all that close, but I really think this needs to be a shove.

    I rarely see regs take this line with a boat hardly ever, and if they do, the majority of the time their river bet is certainly bigger to look like they are stealing a chop. Either that, or most regs would c/bomb the river.

    Not jamming here is putting villain on exactly 7's full (which might not even play the hand like this more than 35% of the time - usually c/r flop or turn or riv) or 67 for which we have blockers. If we are considering 67, then its for sure also possible he has other 6x hands that will pay off riv, and I'd say that its more likely that he plays other 6x hands like this than 67 which might c/r flop with two pair some percentage of the time.

    Sure if villain leads like 28 on river, then maybe we can think about flatting, but once he bets 19 I'm not really convinced.

    How can you guys be so certain he's going to bet/call a jam with AJ/AQ, that seems to be the range we're looking to get value from, otherwise I don't see what other hands he's calling a shove with besides KK/77.

    spenda, check your pm please...

    It seems like you are maximizing how much you lose when you are beat and making it easier for opponent to fold anything else. I would bet $47.
  14. #14
    This is 100nl, people are stations. Any 6 is calling, probably any high ace and probably pocket god damn 10's that put you on a 6 or air cuz some people are just that bad.

    Against a range it's a shove, putting villain on 1 hand is silly.

    Villain doesn't bet the river with AJ/AQ here like ever.

    Any raise pot commits you to calling a shove, which he'll do with all better hands, so shoving loses the same as raising less. It's purely a question of winning the maximum from worse hands.

    Care to elaborate why you don't think it's close? There's three combos of 77 and only one combo of 67s. Those are arguably the only hands he'll call with.

    Of course villain will make a bad call here a lot, which is why I like a shove as well, but I certainly think it's close, especially with a solid image.

    I'm going to say shove, but I think it would be closer if you bet 4.50 or bigger on the flop, as I think not raising when you only bet half pot weights his range less towards 77. A lot of people will slowplay when you cbet 3/4 but if you only bet 1/2 pot they feel like they need to raise, as you're not going to be building much of a pot for them. It's also 100nl so I wouldn't give him credit for being able to fold 6x here, also, do you think that leading the river makes his range slightly weaker? when he has the option to C/R?

    I wonder what that would be like...
    I definitely don't have that since villain called it off with AQ

    Well if you don't have a solid image then why are you asking if you should shove a boat on the river 100BB deep? wtf
