AK river decision in tough spots

    Default AK river decision in tough spots

    hand 1: villian is unknown. Do we have to call his river bet after calling turn raise in a 3 bet pot? The board looks scary though. Any thoughts on shoving on the turn vs an unknown player?

    hand 2: villian is an uber nit running 11/7/2. His 3 bet% is only 2%. Fold to cbet% is 75%. I dB on this nice board and hit my nuts flush but he snapped shove. weak tight and fold? The thing is I cant really see this guy ever slow play sets except 99.

    What exactly are you afraid of in h1, I think you'll see AK here alot, though AQ is going to town you once and awhile of course. However you're getting a decent price on the river to look him up, I call.

    For h2 It's possible he may have been waiting to raise the turn with a set but got scared that you wouldn't continue with worse with the flush draw completing. You said he snap shoved....and he's 11/7 calling your UTG raise..he has it.

    1- This sucks. I think it's probably a fold but I call vs. a complete unknown. A few hands worth of nitty stats makes this a fold though.

    2 - Snapfold. Is he the type of player to bluff here?
