Just played a fairly descent session and had quite a few interesting spots come up that I wanted to go over for some thoughts. This first hand had a mega calling station as my opponent. He has been playing 56/5.6/.89 over 150 hands. He has called down multiple pot sized bets from me w/ draws. My notes are VALUE BET BIG AND DON'T BLUFF. PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com Button ($24.55) SB ($107.90) BB ($52.75) Hero (UTG) ($98.20) MP ($25) Preflop: Hero is UTG with K , K![]() Hero raises to $1.75, 1 fold, Button calls $1.75, SB calls $1.50, 1 fold Flop: ($5.75) 9 , 10 , 6 (3 players)SB checks, Hero bets $6, 1 fold, SB calls $6 Turn: ($17.75) 7 (2 players)SB checks, Hero bets $10, SB calls $10 River: ($37.75) 10 (2 players)SB checks, Hero ????? What do we do with this river? |

I check behind most of the time unless he's going to be calling down w/ bottom pair or something. Heart draws arn't going to pay you off so the only hands we're really getting value from are A9 type hands. I think you're getting called by better way too often for a value bet to be +ev.

I don't see any reason to bet here. You will only get called by better or raised off your hand. Even if he is a fish, its better to just play it safe and check behind. Also, I'd bet a little bigger on the turn, maybe $14.

I really like value betting thin but I check behind here simply because it is way too thin. I feel like he's gonna C/fold or C/minraise more often than C/call with worse. Unless he's a REALLY big calling station, calling down with 22 here or something. But in that case you probably would've known what to do and wouldn't have posted this HH here, right? |
