Did I backdoor you?

I think the hand is fine. Probably fold the river, but I don't hate a call.

looks like a trivial river fold

ZOMG WE HAVE TRIPS WITH TOP KICKER.

He probably doesn't have a set or straight. The backdoor flush is the only likley hand that beats us. If he has it, his river c/r is pretty ghey.

I call bets like this all the time and I'm certainly not going broke over it.

do we thinks its pretty much 99% a backdoor, or can he occasionally have 4x whatever that 4x ever is.
Im going on the assumption this player is not good either, plus its a little pot

[Fnord]

75%ish backdoor. Maybe less, maybe more. Depends on what I think of him, you're certainly playing a guessing game here.

[BankItDrew]

this c/r has back door written all over it

i hate the big bet on the river btw... i'm value towning Kx for a lot less than $18

[wufwugy]

so not folding

bet like a sissy on turn and a 4 calls then he gets it in his head that he's value towning trips crap kicker on river

it's more likely that intelli poker hit a backdoor or flopped a set and fuct up the line vs. case 4 in a HU BvB situation

how is 18 a big bet


i'd bet more and fold to a raise or bet this amount and call. seems like he can be raising worse for value.

We should be assuming that villain has a 2nd best hand (Kx, because this is the most frequent scenario) and bet accordingly. Our line (including more than half pot bet on river) + board doesn't seem to be worried about kings or trips too, which shows a lot of strength and may blow off random Kx's.

Value towning this to more of a 1/3 pot river bet may be a better idea. Forget what our hand is for a moment and let's concentrate on getting the most out of villain after a very bad river card for him (assuming villain has weaker ldo).

how can you fold after your river bet size

come again? more words req.

54 is the only worse hand i can think of that might c/r for value.

I can't help but think villain has 66 and just plain out sucks. Avatar has something to do with this hand guess...

[Keilah]

Hand seems played OK.

I'm leaning fold but wouldn't be upset by a call.

[bigspenda73]

I mean I just really dislike this river bet size because I flat out dont think it opens villain's calling range up compared to something bigger. On top of this it's almost small enough to induce a bluff-raise here which is kinda gross because normally I'd just like to bet/fold the river.

$25-28 seems good and you can fold to a raise

i didnt, but i see what you are saying in your later post too, and fully agree hence why i feel i butchered it but wanted to call the c/r because i havent really represented a hand.
