Bet for value vs QX or check to induce bluffs from missed draws?

1) Bigger pre for value. Would go around 10-12$ for value and start building the pot up.


2) River decision depends on just how sticky and callhappy you feel your villain are,alongside just how wide his range is in this spot. I think either decision is fine here, but as mentioned this is really villain dependant what is the most +EV choice.


If your villain has any spazz or bluffs in him after bricking out a draw i really like this line. Bet flop bet turn to keep him in the hand, and then check the river to him if you suspect he is sitting there empty. Some villains just dont cant resist trying to bluff you off if they sit there empty and gets checked to them in position.

Definitely 3bet to at least $10.

OTR, shove. V will not bluff shove busted draws for 40% pot with zero FE.

Thanks for the input.

1) I definitely would normally go bigger, 12-14ish, but this game has been playing quite small pre and I was a little afraid of chasing him off at $10.

2) My instinct was telling me missed draw, I can not really articulate why. Maybe its the fact that the board is really conducive to combo-draws of all types. 2 flush draws plenty of reasonable straight draws/pair hands etc. I dont know that the utg min-raise leans me one way or another.

I agree with bigger pre Im not sure I was accounting for the other guy in the hand for some reason.

perhaps bigger on the turn too, its such a good board for value against worse hands
