V1 pauses then checks. Hero does the same. I just dont have the stones at this point to barrel twice here. Bad mistake?
River Qd, V shoves. Hero folds. I know he is looking for a fold on the river but I can't call. He flashes the Ad after he shoves which is weak af.
Thanks to all the replies. I posted b/c I thought internally there were some go either way streets.
If you canÂ’t barrel the turn then you shouldnÂ’t be betting the flop imo, and you shouldnÂ’t be 3betting pre. Part of 3-betting a polarized range (which is what an A5s 3b is), is balancing out or 3 bets so weÂ’re not just 3betting premiums, and we need to be prepared to barrel good flops like this one or itÂ’s a pretty big leak to do against decent Vs.
Instead of thinking how your hand hit this board, think about VÂ’s spot if you continue barreling? How would you feel in his spot with overs facing a c-bet and 1/2-2/3 psb on the turn? How much do you even like your 77-JJ holdings?
V probably knows you canÂ’t be strong on this board textures but that doesnÂ’t mean he has anything to call your bluff. However, once you chicken out on the turn he knows the pot is his for the taking. If I were V IÂ’d shove river with anything I floated the flop with because itÂ’s printing money.
