Ok so you think after I bet the turn that I should just give up on the river?
I range him on [ 7X, TX, SD's, some PP's ] otr ; so it felt like he was weighted towards weak pairs and busted draws ( some of these draws are AX)
It’s all good amigo. We range him the same way. I’m sorry my post was ambiguous.
I’m not saying you should give up. This is a classic range battle. I used the float metaphor only to illustrate that you’ve displayed more range strength throughout the hand, so he’s “floating “ in the range battle. Perhaps there’s a better term for this. Had he x r turn, the situation would be entirely different.
Anyway, The board pairing eliminates some kicker problems for him. That was my main point. So the river analysis is simpler for him.
The math of it comes down to your assessment of FE, which I feel is diminished by the damn board pairing. That said, the strength overall you’ve displayed can be exploited only with a strong river bet.
In that sense, I agree with Browni although I don’t think V thinks you could open with QT or KT. In any case, it will take a big bet to fold V and I think we’re good x’g half the time. But perhaps Browni is correct that you should “stick to your story “ and that I’ve underestimated FE.
That said, i suspect you’re good checking behind half the time at least and it’s a 98 dollar pot and life is long....if V called Tx on turn he will call it on river unless you size up.
