    Default Anyone bet this river for value?

    Haven't seen many hands of this guy yet, not enough for his stats to pop up anyway. But I do know he's not good and he's an any-s00ted-face-card donk. That's how he got his stack, a Q5s two-pair vs AA. I get the feeling that river may have just helped me out a whole lot. He thought for a real long time before he made his turn bet. Of course we can't rule out AK as a LOT of passive donks like this don't raise it preflop. Anyone think that's the only hand I'm afraid of at this point?

    Incidently, I hate these $1 river bets because it's could be an idiot trying to buy the pot (yes they think this works!), or it could be he accidently typed his bet into the chat box (a suprisingly easy error to make at Ongame)

    KT, TsXs are possible (albeit unlikely) too right? I never know what these stupid bets mean. Maybe it means 'raise me, I have the nuts'. I know I've had that occur to me in the past a few times.

    I know the action makes it make no sense, but I have trouble comprehending the thought process of donks in this spot.

    I think the danger of opening it up to a reraise makes it hard to value bet this. But I'm sort of a wuss.

    I raise. This just isn't, probably, what a fish does with a big hand.

    If we raise are we actually getting called by a worse hand?

    Ask yourself this, had he checked, do we check behind?

    This type of player will call with any King.

    I think the ten helps you in most cases here because he could easily have K5/K3 and is now block betting.

    You-- yes, you-- you're a cunt.
