    Default 50NL river decisions.

    x-post from blog.

    1

    villain is 61/11 but thats only over 20 hands so its not too meaningful but obviously hes loose and no goot. i think my cbet could have been a little bigger looking back. on the river i have just over a psb left, as does villain. question here really is bet or check? every single draw on the flop has missed (unless he has JQhh) and i assume he'd raise AK, maybe A10 pre, so I can't see how I'm beat, unless he has A8 or a weird set, both of which likely raise due to the hearts - although again no reads to certify that.

    i thought my options were either bet/call ~$20 or c/c any bet he throws out. the problem with c/c seems to be that I may miss out of he checks behind some gay A, or "value" bets something like $10 with a worse hand.

    this may be the longest thought process for what is more than likely a standard hand.

    villain is 34/11/1.4 over 130 hands. I dont normally set mine OOP vs 1 player but lolminraises. question here is how to get value from his worse hands on the river. he has ~2/3 psb on river, do you prefer shipping it in or c/c? i assume if we check and he shoves we call? although I guess its hard for him to have flopped 2 pair as 109 and 10J are unlikely holdings.

    1 just bet/fold like $18

    2 ugh superlame. ummm. I guess c/f since he's fairly passive and will probs not turn 2pair hands into a bluff on the river. Lame spot though.

    But in hand 2 my biggest problem is your reference to setmining. You have TENS! omg TENS!!!! I am always calling a 4x raise in this spot let alone minraises. With villain being fishy as well I fall off my chair in anticipation of seeing a flop with tens here.

    yeah I guess I made it sound like that. im always calling w 1010, i was just expecting people to say "dont setmine OOP". never folding vs this playargh.

    yeah you're right I fucked up. I think you need to bet turn harder to set up a river shove. I guess just shove anyway now but you'll get called a lot wider if it's not an overbet.

    hand 1: bigger on turn please, as played bet/call $20-22 on river.

    hand 2: vils not got a full stack, if you bet a little more on the flop and specifically the turn river would be an easy shove, as played meh, your options are put him in for his last $23, or c/f, the guys a big fish so I just put him in.
    "This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.
