Hero ???


Villain is weakish reg playing 31/24, agf 1,8, raise 1st CO 48, fold to 3b 37, fold to cbet 37, went to showdown 24. I have new account on OnGame so he should not have any reads on me.


What do you prefer here?

a) Check/fold
b) Check/call
c) Bet with normal sizing/fold (or even call?)
d) OB shove (we have about 2x pot left)
e) CRAI


Also reasoning for your preferred line would be appreciated!


Thank you

Re: NL400 - odd river spot

i would probably check call. i don't think u are going to get a ton of credit for a river bet here and if u r raised u r either beat or chopping. could def. see a bluff raise here i think it's a very credible threat given u 3 bet pre which u surely might not do with some 8x hands.

Re: NL400 - odd river spot

You check and call to win half the pot by risking twice the pot some of the time... sounds like a bad plan. Check calling with an 8 seems amazing, though.

If you overbet shove, you think that 33% of his range doesn't have an 8 in it.

If 33%+ or whatever math is (LOL NUMBERS) of his range is 8x, you check-fold.

Check-shoving opportunities could come up, but I think you'll run into 8x too often if the average player gives you room to check-raise here.

you propably meant 16,5%, but thats still untrue if villian is likely to check back chops

Re: NL400 - odd river spot

I like shoving it is close though. Need villain to fold 66% of the time to break even. His range should not have many 8x hands that called after the flop. Especially if he is weak tight. Your range could definitely have an 8 in it. Lets give villain a range of 88-QQ, AKs for times he floats. Also a range of 78s. If I stove this range then he has an 8 in his hand that beats you 24% of the time. I think he rarely calls here to chop with you. If we take out AKs out of his range then he can have an 8 in his range 27% of the time. Interesting spot but shove is way better then check calling.


Here is the math on check calling. We lose 25% of the time on average if he 2/3 pots it. So

27% of the time we lose 105= ($28.35)
63% of the time we win $79= $49.77
Calling has an
EV of $21.42


Shoving we win $158 70% of the time roughly. =$110.6
chop 5% of the time. So 158/2*.05= $3.95
lose $319 25% of the time. = ($79.75)

Shoving has an
EV of $34.80 assuming he rarely floats and we give him a tight range.

Re: NL400 - odd river spot

Here being oop is a huge advantage because you're first to act on the river. Bet-folding pot seems good to me.

Math wizard confirms 33.33%. We aren't talking about giving Villain an opportunity to check back. We are discussing how often he needs to fold to our shove.

Against a tight passive player, we can get more bang for our buck, sure. Against a solid regular who knows you'll be betting here close to 100% AND that he probably has slightly more 8x hands in his range means that you'll be lighting way more money on fire trying to bet/fold than by shoving twice the pot.
