Hey guys,

I think the hand was played quite standard up til the river where after villains checks I fire a clear valuebet. But how do u handle a faced check-raise here OTR?? I mean, it feels pretty nutted (QT, 33,22) but do those hands really take this line in the majority of the time? Can Villain have enough bluffs or worse hands (weaker Tx?) often enough to find a call here?

Looking forward to your opinions! :-)

I'm not pretending I know, I'm still learning and just posting to see if anyone agrees.

Looks to me like the only hands that could beat you is QxTd or 22. He probably 3 bets ATo and ATs from SB doesn't he? I don't think he would bet 33 on the turn? I can't see him x/r JTs or below though. Maybe the only bluffs are busted flush draws that might be trying to push you off top pair, but that seems like a risky bluff. You have to catch a bluff 40% of the time for the pots odds to make sense don't you?...and it looks like a lot of his flush draws are blocked which makes his range value heavy. So I would say fold. What do you think?

i want to bet bigger otr the first time. river spot is pretty gross and you probably lose to AT but i think i'd call. it feels like a spot where kicker could matter so id call the best kickers and fold the rest. w that being said most populations significantly underbluffs river raise spots outside of a few scenarios where i think they overbluff so meh

Im betting flop I think. When flop goes check check then villan checks turn Im betting. As played Im folding river. I think villain has 33 here so often. At many stakes people are just not check-raise bluffing especially not when you just bet 4.50 into 6 on the river.

At first I thought you were trying to decide between call/jam, not call/fold
