I like all except last one. I think you've got it. Let him take a stab with his missed combo draw (prob QdJd a lot here if his tank means anything).

[johnny_fish]

Yeah, that river got me thinking and in the end I was hoping for AT or the nfd.

[r8ed]

Nice. Just a couple comments. Hopefully people will explain if I'm off in my thinking.

#1: Is checking better than leading for $25 yourself? Considering he gets a free river to hit a flush, which if he hits you might be tempted to call if the price is right.

#3: I like 1/2 pot river. I think he calls w/ any Ace because he doesn't think his kicker will matter w/ the King on there. If he has AA/KK he'll go way over the top and you can fold. How often do you bet 1/4 pot on the river with the nuts btw?

[LimpinAintEZ]

hand 2 is played just beautifully...the perfect example of inducing the bluff with a great hand - im blushing its so nice

[bdawg56kg]

1) Lead the turn. You scare off so many hands that will call a turn lead by c/r'ing instead of just leading again.

2) Meh, okay I guess, although I usually lead these rivers.

3) Bet 100 on the river. Nobody folds an ace here.

4) Nh, although if you read him for a draw, there's nothing wrong with checking.

[SmackinYaUp]

Nah, go ahead and bet the last hand. If he's tanking it doesnt necessarily mean he's figuring the pot odds for his draw. The ace is about as good a card as you can hope for. Go ahead and try to get some value. He really looks like he's going to check behind there if you check.

hand 1 i think your turn raise size is bad, and hand 2 i would check/push river always

[dsaxton]

I think more straightforward lines are generally better than fancy plays against unknown opponents.
