This guy just sat down 10 hands ago, so nothing specific to note on him yet. I thought that his range would be very wide with the button limp. I called the flop because it was a really fast bet and I figured that he most likely missed or was semi-bluffing. I viewed the turn bet as another bluff/semi-bluff, and planned to fold the River if he made a significant bet.

So the 6 comes on the river. He bets 4/5 pot, and I think that players at this level could make this bet with a pretty large range still: missed flush, missed straight, two pair, Ax. Something that didn't cross my mind at the moment was 64 or 62. I probably would have just called his 3-bet if I were more aware of that possibility.

Against an unknown 10NL player:
1) Do you think that the Flop and Turn calls are justifiable?
2) Do you think that he will be willing to go all in on the river with worse than trips, enough that this would be a profitable play?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Edit: I just realized that he was the SB, not the button. Oops. This wouldn't change his range significantly, would it?

preflop, you can raise atc there deep until you know he's a l/c'er but calling's OK

flop, not sure if this is right or not, but i'd almost always raise there, you have top pair, alot of equity, and you really don't like any overcard coming on the turn

turn, not a good card, without a read you could fold

river, his b/3b looks really strong and you have the weakest of the big hands. i think he does sometimes have big aces here but he's saying he has a monster. probably just call the 3-bet but not 4-bet jam.

why are you 4betting the river?

[VoidCog]

Yeah, I think you're both right about the 4-bet. He's betting strong and upon thinking/reading, he would only be calling my 4-bet with a hand that beats me.

Thank you for the input.

Raise pre, why are you letting him limp?

River is either a raise/fold or a flat call, lean towards a call myself since I don't think much worse pays you off. Reraise is terrible on the river given his 3bet sizing, think about his range instead of just your hand.

checking behind absolute junk here is fine. like K5 sure raise.

either call the river 3b or fold. probably fold
