Hey all,

I found this turn check raise I really liked but got a bit stuck on this river.

FULL HAND:

https://play.globalpoker.com/gp/10/h...4b0566a9d5854a

Global Poker $1.5k GTD 9-max

Blinds 10/20, First few hands of the tournament.

No stats cause global =(

Villain (UTG+1): $2150 (107BB)
MP: $1150 (58BB)

Pre Flop: Villain opens UTG+1 to 70, MP calls. Hero in BB calls with J9

Hero checks. Villain bets 100. MP folds. Hero Calls... Heads up to the Turn.

Hero checks. Villain bets 220. Hero check raises 700. Villain Calls.

River (Pot 1,820 - Hero is effective 1,220): 4

Hero? - Check or Bet?




Notes:

My turn check followed my belief that most of his continuing UTG+1 range is combos of the A and the K. I wanted to make them pay to draw and deny equity. Global player will be inelastic in this spot, so I do expect a lot of High diamonds to continue with bad odds.

My In-game logic:

When the third 4 peels I am a bit concerned. What hands do I beat that call a river bet? I chop any jack, get no value from flushes, and his range now has more over pairs with a diamond that have just turned the full house.

My only concern is checking allows my opponent to shove, which now I only chop at best and its tough to call. This is a great card to bluff a flush off the pot.

If I make this check, knowing it opens an incredible bluffing opportunties for Ax and Kx hands, do I have to call?

Not sure why we x/r turn??? Snap call now

Misread hand. We raised turn just lead 60%

Probably fold pre vs 3.5x with no ante. C-c turn, he never folds Jx+ and if you're thinking c-r for value this is a massive overplay. River is weird, we probably shouldn't be in that spot. As played seems like it's a river we should barrel pretty big with that particular hand because our perceived range has a lot of airs, but we're value cutting ourself pretty often so it's a little gross. When we check we shouldn't expect him to bluff river if he's half decent, we have missed draws/Jx+ so turning anything into a bluff doesn't make sens for him, but maybe at those stakes it's a move.
