standard?

[Miffed22001]

i wouldnt have called the minraise river i dont think, rest is standard.

[Renton]

I am not even good one in 4.5 times on this river?

probably but the donkey draw got their and what would he call you down with here that you beat?
Add to that id have bet 40-50 here and then called the miniraise if it came. I thought 2/3rds was a lot here esp with the potentially dangerous river card

[bdawg56kg]

This looks fine. I might bet more on the river though.

[zaaaaaak]

78 seems likely.

I would check/call this river card hoping he's betting a weak king or trash.

yeah, why not c/c the river? especially with his high river aggression. i mean do you really think a weaker king or busted draw is calling the river?

[ensign_lee]

I'm sorry ruckymvv, but I would never check/call this river. That is not good advice at 200NL.

If the opponent is a fish and is beaten, he will simply not bet, and you will have lost a lot of value.

I think this got played fine. Calling the raise is something you're just going to have to do, because honestly, I think you're good every 4.5x, like you said.

Sucks that he raised though. Fish are supposed to call, and then lose.

[bdawg56kg]

yeah, why not c/c the river?

Because his range consists of a lot of weaker made hands that will pay off a bet but not necessarily bet if checked to. Sure he could have the nuts, but that's a very small portion of his range.

i mean do you really think a weaker king or busted draw is calling the river?

Yes, he is a fish. This is how we make money.

[Staresy]

Forgive my ignorance here, but if he has high river aggression and our hero checks to him, aren't we just inviting him to make a bet that we would struggle to call?

How much are we calling on a c/c (hypothetically)?

[midas06]

the problem with aggression ratings is that it takes longer for it to converge than vpip/pfr, and also you may not have seen the villain play more than a few times on each street

[arkana]

Check call or check fold that river unless he is a super donk.
