BB has a bounty of around $7 on him. Should I just fold the river?

I have a preference for betting dangerous flops when I have a set. I think you have to bet the flop here. Bigger on the turn, I think you have to call river.

Flop check is fine imo, you dont need much protection, generally in these spots, you should bet a size on turn, that leaves you with a pot sized or a ~3/4 pot sized shove left for the river. As played, yes, you have to call.

Checking this flop is fine with villain so short. Turn sizing is not fine - go bigger to set up river jam.

Not a really dangerous flop for our hand?

I like checking flophere toinducemore action from the short stack.

Turn sizing is too small, you want to be betting bigger to shove river for value .

Again, river bet is far toosmall but as played you have to call it off.

You want to get more value from these types of hands!

Flop it whatever, but turn and river sizings are really bad.

Missplayed every street.
Bet and bet bigger

Agreee bet sizing really bad,

Bet 3bb oTF though and makes a perfect turn shove size

I dont know how i feel about checking flop, we gotta get him to committ his chips sometime, pref not when were beat LOL.


? for thread = Ive been looking for good bet-fold river lines, playing this hand as played does river play better as bet fold or x/c here. Cause if we bet here, one pair hands should just be calling (its the 2 pair hands im not sure about but on his stack there shouldnt be ANY 2 pairs here ) so if we get raised we can be confident were beat

SO either B-B-X/C or X-B-B/F


also on the stack of villan im either folding or jamming this over your raise, you ARE calling off 15bb here pre. and if im villan, and didnt jam pre, im rrai OTT the problem is you let him to the river so cheap he can acutally fold if he misses and still have a healthy jam stack
