jamming river.

Why jam?

Why do a 30%pot Cbet? I would've went 60%pot to max value.

Most of the time I use cb size 1/3. I get a good price for bluffs and draw more from weak hands.

SmbSmbSmb just trolls. Most of us just ignore him.

still not trolling.

would be interested if someone is able to sim. checking river after double barrelling in spots where the spr is smallish with hands that are not going to x/f would usually be because the board changes drastically in favour of villain or if villain has a lot of incentive to bluff with missed draws etc.

in basic terms, if you check to call here you need villain to be finding more bluffs with 1-pair hands than the $ they would put into the pot with their bluffcatchers like 67-JJ, which are never betting. obviously you're losing the same amount of money whenever they have AA beat whether you xc or shove and i'd argue the conditions above for checking aren't met by the population.

i'd assume, further, that people usually don't slow play the turn here (and maybe jam more flushdraw combos?), working in favour of betting.

block-betting the K is also an interesting option, no idea if solver-approved or not. would allow us to put a lot of pressure on large portions of villain's range, though, with a wide-ish portion of our own.

would love to hear your/any counter-argument and happy to be proven wrong. this is definitely a dicey spot. bit more interesting and productive than being called a troll, anyway.

I guess the guy has a flush or a set here, pretty sick spot. I wonder if we should be betting river for like 1/2 pot here to get value from villains weaker PP's but then we obv can't fold to a raise. The way you checked river here you could actually get away from the hand, read less I would believe he has a flush or a set, hard to think he is turning a marginal made hand into a bluff that could just check behind. I would like to give him AK in his range but I have a hard time giving that to him when he calls the huge turn bet.
