Obviously, I don't have the nuts here but I think I should have bet for value. It has to be a bet/fold because as he played it, he could have KJs,JJ,TT,99, KTs, KK even though these are highly improbably statistically, all are in his range for a 3bet call OOP UTG. Should I have bet/fold the river and how much? Thanks

Meh I would check.

I would check as well, you'r not getting too many calls here from weaker stuff than a straight. This is a good spot to take advantage of your better position imo.

Meh I would check.

So are we only betting river with some PP's and weak Jx? just wondering what checking here would do to our image if this guy is a reg. i 3b smaller pre btw

i dunno what you are hoping will call you. AA, AK probably aren't even calling.

umm really? I'm pretty sure after the flop ck these hands are def calling.

I just think the majority of hands that will call will be hands that beat yours (well over 50%)

I'd just check it back without some solid dynamic.

Actually my strategy for this river is b/f TT/AQ and check behind everything else, but plz don't tell anyone.

Lol. You make me feel like such a pussy sometimes.

If this was anything but UTG opened pot I'd play. Reads would be cool too.

People make bad calls all the time......while i'd be mildly worried about AQ I think this is a pretty easy bet.

Ok I am now gonna spend 5 mins looking at HH's before responding.

Every hand I seem to be misreading lately. Completely missing that QQ is a straight on this board.

In which case, I take back my previous comment about AA/AK always calling, though I don't think we'll see that many AA anyhow.

I'd bet $17 on this river, but wouldn't be that surprised if I'm called/shoved on and am beat by JJ or AQ sometimes.
