    Default An early deep stack hand for you

    Despite only being at this table for 6 hands, MP1 has already displayed a wide range of hands being played preflop (showing down 64o played from UTG+1 and various other weird calls preflop), however, I have no definite postflop betting pattern for him. Do you bet the river to try to take it down or do you check it and sacrifice the pot (I think opponent has any one pair at this point)?

    By the way, my preflop raise was to get absolute junk out with a borderline hand in AJo, not wanting to spend too many chips fulfilling this task.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    MP1 (t7235)
    MP2 (t10700)
    Hero (t5435)
    CO (t1010)
    Button (t10030)
    SB (t3620)
    BB (t3080)
    UTG (t4685)
    UTG+1 (t4660)

    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with J, A.
    2 folds, MP1 calls t30, 1 fold, Hero raises to t90, 3 folds, BB calls t60, MP1 calls t60.

    Flop: (t285) K, 2, 5 (3 players)
    BB checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets t200, BB folds, MP1 calls t200.

    Turn: (t685) T (2 players)
    MP1 checks, Hero checks.

    River: (t685) 9 (2 players)
    MP1 checks..................

    trying to live
    easy check against a bad player. all signs point to him being a calling station.

    Check because the amount you'll have to invest to probably buy this is not worth the risk that he'll call with some crap pair and take even more from you.

    Thanks guys, thank God I kept my discipline and checked it through. Villain showed 54o to take the pot - I feel he may well have called if I potted it on the river.

    Downswinging holla!
    Your bet on the flop is a little much, and generally I try not to c-bet into more than one player. I think the better play here is to bet smaller on the flop and make a sizeable bet on the turn.
