We've been playing over an hour. He likes to float, has rivered some crap, I've rivered some crap, back and forth match and we are both capable are big bluffs. I know you all will say, "meh, fold preflop", well whatever, that's not how I play, plus you get winnerwinner flops like this. Are bet sizes okay? I was trying to set up the river poooosh, but then an obv. awesome card comes

folding PF here would be pretty bad.

I think this is pretty close. Qx is definitely within his range on the river. there aren't a HUGE amount of 2 pair hands he could have if he plays even close to Tag in 3bet pots (KJ?, J9?) and even though your river betting range here is pretty polarized to str8s/air i don't think most people will look you up with AT/A9 here. I think i like a check.

This is a call preflop, if not you are giving up to much if he is 3beting like a normal non fishy aggro 2-4 player, IMO

Big difference between 86s 170bb deep and 95o 100bb.

River is so sick, hmmmm.... I can't really put him on a hand, but to narrow it down, I don't see a Q here almost never, which is enough to bet IMO. Since he took a really weak line he might look you up here

I check, but I'm not happy about it. I don't think you're getting called with anything in villain's range other than QJ/QK.

i dont see why u would bet this river.......i cant see him calling u here with anything u dont beat. Unless he has been known to make some highly speculative calls with hands like two pair here.

oh btw i call preflop in ur situation too

I don't mind preflop at all.

I bet slightly bigger on turn, unless pace of match dictates this as the bet size because you have been bluffing a lot or whatever.

I don't really like betting this river especially with given stack sizes.

Timing should give you a good idea whether its even possible he has a Q (no pause no Queen), I like a shove because you will get looked up here. I mean we are only looking at QT and occasionally Q9 and he will lead the river a decent % so I I see tons of value here. I shove it.

Good point on the timing

Was too lazy too write it in my 1st answer but like cwar is saying, Qx leads river alot. But I take back my move in answer, did'nt notice the stacks, but def bet

I like check or shove, betting 0.5-1 obv sucks with these stacks. I think I check here 70% shove 30%. Depends on gameflow and villain mostly, how likely he'll call with worse.

pls extend on timing here

I agree with timing being important here but i dont play too much emphasis on it unless i have a read from previous hands. You'll find that a Q would pause, even for a split second. An insta check would lead me to want to bet. If i decide to do so it would be a push.

Realise I came in after results, but I would shove river here. In his eyes you can only shove with a Q and there aren't a huge amount of hands containing a Q you should have here depending on how you'd play the turn with a hand like QT. I think you might get looked up lightish here especially if he's seen you multiple barrel bluff. Timing is a very good point, though.

How could he possibly call a 60$ bet in a 72$ pot on the flop with QJ or QK ?
I don't think these hands are in his range

hmm, u never float with 2 overs and a gutshot/OESD ?

Yea sorry, i admit QJ could call, but calling with QK or KJ is EV- I think. Anyway I can't really tell, since I don't know how much implied odds hero is ready to give.

You don't seem to be aware of it, KJ is a double gutshot on the flop.

He just said that because he thought he had the best hand when you checked. If he can show up with KJ here I think he has more Qs in his range, but I'm still moving in
