Am I ******ed for wanting to call? I kinda feel like with the way I played the hand he could be turning his hand into a bluff or then again he could have AA.. but I have blockers. Hehe

yes. calling here would be ******ed. then again, just about every street of this hand was ******ed

thanks that helps!

I def think the river bet is ******ed.. but I dont think flop or turn is really all that ******ed... sooo now he have preflop (******edish) flop (ok imo) turn (ok imo) and river (******ed) So really only half the hand is played ******ed.

I don't think you did anything wrong except trying to v-bet the river. I might check turn and v-bet river instead but it's probably close.

Thanks for the reply... I agree the VB on the end is silly. Once I get myself in this spot do you call the river? Like I said I think its pretty easy from the way the hand played out for the guy to turn his hand into a bluff. Or is that just wishful thinking?

he has tt

? I like the river bet to own KK

fold as played

his dominant repsonse will be to call (and not raise) with hands that are strong enough to beat all bluffs, and he will almost never have a hand that cant beat bluffs due to the nature of how it played out.


the kind of person who minreraises preflop out of position is the kind of person i would expect to have QQ or AA here.

I like the line you took here;checking the flop for pot control and value betting the turn. I do think there is little or none value in betting that river.I doubt you could get a cry call from KK,JJ,...Anything else that villain´s 3bets you pre with,is crushing you,or,as you mentioned leaving villain´s with enough room for a bluff.

reads on BB? this is usually a fold preflop

i feel like if he was setting up a bluff in this hand it is not going to be some monster river jam. he min 3b oop like a fish, idk

Honestly I think raising AJoff in UTG+1 w/o antes is pretty bad given your stacksize.
The reraise pre pretty much screams monster with that clickish raise OOP - and yet i still call it because of Pot odds and hoping to outflop him.
Flop check is pretty standard. I will valuebet on either turn or river - but will probably go for the turn bet - river check.
The valuebet on the river is obv. pretty bad as some of the other stated.
