I hope we can agree the latter option would be an overplay, given how the hand has played out.
DUCY if you’re going to bet turn for 1/3 and bet river for < 1/3, it would have been more advantageous for you to instead check turn, and then go for 3/4 to PSB on river if checked to? Same amount of overall money goes in, but you get to pot control/induce bluffs.
I think the main theme of this hand and the KQo hand is that you need to be more cognizant of pot control in your strat.
What to do on the river here is besides the point. Turn should have been a check given the multi-way scenario.
If both checked back to me, I would've bet 2/3 the pot to extract value from KQ/KT. Against passive opponents that historically never get tricky/always play the same way, is it negative EV to bet all 3 streets to extract as much value as possible?
I wouldn't have done this with any unknown/TAG/LAG, but both were passive and I mistakenly put them on both on Kx/QT, so I honestly thought I was golden on the turn because I thought either of them would've raised flop if either had a J.
It's just that I wait so long for my AA that I get so greedy and don't even think about pot control and I was already salivating on how much I will eventually win once I bet the turn. But I agree that all of you are correct, so it's something I need to fix regarding pot control and checking turn once both call.
I called, V1 had JJ for quads. V2 had QT (that's what he said and I believed him).
Thank you everyone for your comments/input!!!
