River ($275): AdKs6s7sJc. I check, BU jams ~$160, I sigh fold.
Anyone play this differently? Turn bet seems OK since he has a million worse aces calling from the straddle (and half of them will have the As). On the river we don't beat any value (AJ improved too) and I don't think he has nearly enough bluffs for us to call here. On the other hand, feels gross x/f to a 60% pot bet here even though we obviously saw it as a possibility on the turn.
I limp/evaluate preflop. If raising and effective stacks are $300, I go $30 just to setup that much more of a comfortable stack off situation postflop (cuz it will be difficult to not stack off postflop with TP, imo).
SPR is ~3.5, we have TPTK and the board is drawy. I feel committed. So I PSB the flop to shove the turn.
As played, it looks like we're looking to somehow not work towards commitment with our flop bet sizing. So when a bad turn card comes, at least we now have an opportunity to follow thru with not committing. So I check/evaluate.
As played, I'm fine with the river.
Overall, I lean to getting myself into either (a) easily committable spots where I therefore commit versus (b) easily non-committable spots where I don't commit. Trying to tow the line between the two is meh, imo.
