I was betting any river, because he’s an excellent hand reader and I think it’s very hard for him to put me on anything but a big pair, but this was a particularly good card:
Full Tilt No-Limit Hold’em, $10.00 BB (6 handed) – Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
BB ($1313)
Hero (UTG) ($2905.25)
MP ($1230)
CO ($1159.50)
Button ($1680)
SB ($1000)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, A
Hero bets $40, 2 folds, Button calls $40, SB calls $35, 1 fold
Flop: ($130) 8, 4, 4 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $88, Button calls $88, 1 fold
Turn: ($306) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $150, Hero calls $150
River: ($606) 8 (2 players)
Hero bets $420, 1 fold
Total pot: $606 | Rake: $3
Results:
Hero didn’t show K, A (nothing).
Outcome: Hero won $603
I like how the hand perverter says you had “nothing” when you probably had the best hand.
can’t see images at work either…
Do you think you could get away with something like 310/350 on the river?
It’s a good question. My concern with going smaller is that it starts to look like I might be blocking or betting thin, and it would be easier for him to look me up with mediumer pairs.
