Villain: 50/5 over 50 hands.
I just hero called this river, but was I wrong?
I reckoned he can have a lot of Ax in his range over valuating it (like me :P)
since his range is wide, especially in BB like this.

    I say so too. What about other actions? flop, turn, river bet? Do I check this river?

      I'm not quite sure you can call it a hero call when you're getting over 56/1 on the call.

      haha yeah. let me change the question - should we check/fold this river? Were other streets standard play?

      Flop and turn are fine. River is probably a check/fold for me (unless he bets pretty small)

      PF/F/T looks standard yes.
      R: i think both plays as:
      -check/call - there missed draws, and next Qx maybe get idea from fish he bluf there
      -bet its correct - fish have in range a lot of Ax and worse hand, so go to 3 streets of value.

      i think its on you what option you choose

      edit: yes, as played its easy fold

      The question is and a very difficult one if I might add -How do we know if V has Ax here or Qx?

      Its pure 50:50 chance no matter how he plays.

      If we check river he will probably bet river even if he has Ax (many hands we beat) because we shown weakness and that doesnt tell us anything we are again in the same situation.

      So if we check/call here is basically the same as if we bet in the first place.

      And if we bet we can lose money if he does have it...it can be too risky.

      What is the solution here? ;(

      put in hands to equilab or something, you need understand #count komb
      Qx hands is far less, because two Qx its already on board. And preflop he propably do not call all Qx as Q2o etc, but rather call all Ax, like A2o if you understand. Therefore it isnt 50:50.
      -check-call have advantage of: you can get extra value from hands what missed draws, which you dont get when you bet.
      but dissadvantegs of check-call is: he propably do not bet there, his A2-AT imo. But when you bet then he rather call this hand

      I hope you understand me

      Isn't one Ace on the board and one in our hand? That makes it the same as with Q. We've seen two Queens and two Aces, no?

      True but I don't think it does have much affect here.

      And we get extra value because they would bluff bet, or?

      interesting I did not realize, think you are right. But still im pretty sure more
      combination has in range Ax, because preflop do not call all weak Qx as i said. Put his range to pokerstove/equilab etc. with comboremoval effect and can look self to result
