Hero ?

I'm waffling between b/f to get value from Ax hands and ch/c if villain is capable of thin vbets with a top pair hand or will bluff whiffed draws. His range we can get value from is really thin, but if we bet small we can probably get some crying calls. I'm not sure how much he tries to bluff this board on the river, your BetIP stat on him not withstanding.

dislike the iso from that position

not sure what to do, think it's too thin for value

Most of the draws missed except backdoor hearts and the gutshot KT.

KT likely raises the turn so he probably doesn't have this. He could have some random AhXh that called the flop with toppest pair and then picked up a flush draw on the turn.

I think a check/call is in order here, to see if he stabs with a missed diamond draw, and to keep the pot a bit smaller if he has a flush.

iso is beyond fine from HJ imo

I like a check/call too.

yeah, I definitely don't see a problem with the iso, but I think you are right arb and a river vbet is too thin. Prob just check and close eyes as I click call when he bets.

fold pre, iso against the fish is fine play if you were CO or BTN when were almost gtd to act last, mp1 your in a tricky spot.

c/f river, he will alot of the time have a better 2p, KTdd/hh, T9dd, backdoor nf, he prob checks back all missed draws on such a heavy board OTR so i cant see any hands you would get value from by betting river. imo AK would fold to a river bet on that board, AT unless it was exactly AThh would fold the turn, QJ would fold OTF.

I'm supporting team pokerarb, fold pre.

River is tricky.

I want to agree with this, but there is less than a potsize bet left for villain, so if he bets, I'm fairly sure it will always be a shove, are we still calling that? Because I'm not.

I can't decide between a bet/fold or a check/fold here. If we check I don't think he's value betting anything worse and I don't see him having many bluffs here so a c/c doesn't feel right.

What would be the size of the bet/fold?

I was thinking about $15 but given the stack sizes we're then gonna have a great price to call so I think I prefer the bet fold. I know people are saying he could have a busted diamond draw here but this doesn't seem like the kinda villain who's gonna just call us down with a draw. I'd expect a raise somewhere

There's a fish in the pot, why are you so confident a reg would raise?

Feels like a c/f on the river. Seems like AhKh or AQ is very viable for the way he has played this hand.

c/c is so meh bc you get freerolled real often and you have no real idea how often he's going to bluff

i also think value betting is sossosososo thin

i was thinking about this hand and maybe crai as a bluff could be cool if you think he's capable of bet/folding better... but I doubt ppl bet/fold 2pr here in reality so that kinda goes out the window too
