Villain played almost 100 percent of hands. Was some what of a calling station but was folding to 3 barrels but did hero call with top pair once. So on the turn he calls again do we go ahead and barrel the river? At this point I am pretty sure he has a flush or set. But with the nut blocker is this a great spot to barrel the river?

Pretty spewy to bet 2 streets here if you're not going to fire a 3rd

i usually make the dry ace bluff when i have the chance to somewhere along the lines rep the total nuts. betting less than 60% otf and ott doesn´t really polarize your range, plus villain being a fish/cs and only being 65bb deep makes this prob one of the worst spots to bomb the river in my eyes


normally you can´t really expect people on this forum to judge a hand like that, imo. you are at the table, you have reads on your villain, he is not a reg so you don´t need to balance here, so only you can really judge whether this hugely player dependent spot is a good shove in a vacuum or not. at first glance though, i think i´ve seen better spots hehe

if you wanted to ask how often you should make the dry ace play to be well balanced, if you had some stats to whether or not this is a leak in your overall game strategy, it would be a different ball park, but then again, in this spot, only you really know.

I don't pot bet its one of the worst things you can do in plo. Phil Galfond talks a lot about. So with the nuts or not I am always keep my bet sizing around the same amount. Unless its a very dry board I might half pot the flop with the big hands and air. Other then that I 2/3 pot bet it, and on the river i would pot bet. But this sob hero called me with 10 high flush. I pot the river. So i guess on the river I polarized it.

He's calling.

ups. sorry i guess...

so you want a station to fold the top of his range? gl

I dont know if he has a flush for sure. I can't see his cards. he could have 2 pair top pair etc. He can have a lot of hands hes calling flop and turn with. But he did fold to a 3 barrel before. You have to read the post so you see he is some what of a calling station. He can definitely call flop and turn light. I think there is a flush or set most of the time though but not all the time in his range. And I did think it was some what possible he would fold to 3 barrels with a baby flush but i guess not. He has to put me on a pure bluff here and also thinking I have a flush I refuse to fold. But at the time I wasn't to sure if he would call down on a board like this.
