Full Tilt Poker $6 + $0.25 Heads Up No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t15/t30 Blinds - 2 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

Hero (BTN/SB): t1695 M = 37.67
BB: t1305 M = 29

Pre Flop: (t45) Hero is BTN/SB with 9

Hero raises to t70, BB calls t40

Flop: (t140) 7

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t80, BB calls t80

Turn: (t300) Q

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

River: (t300) A

(2 players)
BB bets t60, Hero wants to raise to about t360....

Only 6th hand, so reads are meh. Can I rep an ace or flush here with a raise? His river bet just seems so weak imo, and he could have floated flop with anything.

ya the problem is that you're readless. for all you know, this guy could be betting 60 to induce a raise out of you. i'll be the first to admit that i make plays like raising this river wayyyyy too often early on in games, but i'm starting to come around to the idea that there's a lot to be said for feeling out your opponent early on in the match.

I call here to see what he had, but bluffing kinda sucks here. If he has Kx or Qx I don't think he'll lay it down that easily.

I like bluffing river. You dont need rep anything here, its 6$ game, they have 44 or something similar here.

I would fold here. A raise is gonna get called too often for it to be +ev imo.
