Effective stack size about $200

Hero: Stack about $280 - Seem to be getting respect at the table. Showed down an all-in flop with Q,Q earlier on a low board which I won.
Villain: Stack size $200 - Older Asian man. Seems to be tilting a bit but doesn't come off as a fish. Opening pre-flop as $17 standard and opening too many hands in last few orbits.

Hero (UTG) dealt: A,A raise to $15
Folds around
Villain (SB) calls $15

Flop: J,6,9 rainbow

Villain(SB) bets $25
Hero(UTG) calls $25

Turn: J,6,9,10

Villain(SB) bets $40
Hero(UTG) calls $40

River: J,6,9,10,Q (no flush, backdoor diamonds miss)

Villain(SB) checks
Hero(UTG) ?

I would Just check it back. He might be tryna trap, and he's not likely calling with anything we beat anyway.

You double block the only Jx you beat. I think you have almost no showdown value at all. Whether you should bluff depends on how sticky this opponent will get with two pair (QJ, JT and QT all feel like very likely holdings based on the action).

Are we happy with the turn call? Feels a little dicey but that's probably results oriented on the bad river card

Spoiler:



River: J,6,9,10,Q (no flush, backdoor diamonds miss)

Villain(SB) checks
Hero(UTG) checks back

Villain says "two pair" and shows J,9.

I took a walk and wondered if I could have played it any differently. To win, the only option I had is to jam the river. I was curious to see if anyone else ever considers river jam here. At 2/3 and these stakes though... its probably always a call.


@moxterite, I like that. That is definitely the question to ask myself if I really want to bluff there. Thanks!

It's really hard to bluff players who are on tilt. That's a known fact that has to be taken into consideration. if you were deeper you would have more room to bluff. He had not much more than a hp bet left, he's probably gonna call and say "show me the king"

Check back. That board run out gives him so many 2 pair combos and given stack sizes, I think vill is calling a jam way too often. It sucks because you're rarely good but jamming feels like lighting money on fire.

Nothing we can do here but check back. We lose to most of his value, and double-block the only hands we're beating.
