    Default To Block or Not to Block

    Found a hand to replace the one I misposted (2nd set no good, should've been posted in bad beat forum).

    Villain is weird.

    He runs at 55/11 so his limp-calling range is huge.

    Do you block, or C/C river?


    - Genitruc sitting in seat 1 with $663.00
    - Bukovskij sitting in seat 2 with $188.80
    - robbull sitting in seat 3 with $244.60
    - StHalvard sitting in seat 4 with $256.15
    - kiingRABBIAT sitting in seat 5 with $44.25
    - Joe_21 sitting in seat 6 with $571.10 [Dealer]

    Genitruc posted the small blind - $1.00
    Bukovskij posted the big blind - $2.00
    ** Dealing card to Genitruc:
    robbull folded
    StHalvard called - $2.00
    kiingRABBIAT called - $2.00
    Joe_21 folded
    Genitruc raised - $13.00
    Bukovskij folded
    StHalvard called - $13.00
    kiingRABBIAT folded

    ** Dealing the flop:
    Genitruc bet - $30.00
    StHalvard called - $30.00

    ** Dealing the turn:
    Genitruc checked
    StHalvard bet - $22.50
    Genitruc called - $22.50

    ** Dealing the river:
    Genitruc blocks or check/calls?
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    uhhh dude cmon bad beat forum. There's no way anyone is going to advocate folding middle set, even if you were 1000BB deep.

    btw

    actually did make a mental note to post in bad beat forum

    I just haven't posted in any other forum in like a million years, so reflexes took over.

    I was worried about getting raised by a low flush (weak?) but river play is definitely more obvious if I lead turn and am flat called...

    I hate river blocking bets, they never work well for me. Especially when it's so obvious that you don't like the flush card.

    I may c/f since i don't think this guy is capable of bluffing here.
