SB (t2200)
BB (t2325)

ur mistake was calling preflop UTG.

why not bet that river? Im not saying that its the right play, but why not bet it?

[Toe]

agreed fold preflop

Ok, so youve called preflop.

On the river I think you had to bet the river, just to see where u were at.

The possible outcomes from this bet:

1. you get flat called, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. This means that you bet the river as a blocking bet. If you win, you win, if you lose, you've priced the river.

2. you get raised, which tells you you're probably against a flush. Because the blinds are low, and he's in MP, any 2 hearts could be feasible. Fold if you get raised.

3. he folds, you win.

Agree?

EDIT: bet half the pot

You guys are studs. I folded and then with a better read on him later int he tourny was pretty sure I had the best hand... ah well.

1. Fold preflop
2. He bet the turn and the river, I doubt he has the flush, I would say you are either ahead or split, I would call

[Trikflow77]

call the river, like tlr said, he bet the turn, i doubt he was on a flush draw. I dont raise this river the way you played it (or really ever here), but i do call the river.

[Darby]

Tough to say-- I doubt he's on the flush draw the way the hand was played, so I definitly call. River raise doesn't get called by anything you can beat most likely.
