If you play at the smaller stakes of live No Limit, how often do you find the players in your game polarized on this river?
I was in a similar spot, and for all the reasons Bart mentioned, I called a $300 all in on the river where the other player just had me covered. Only thing is, in my case I was wrong and I got stacked. So you never know.
I kind of agree that you don't see high frequency of big river bets at small stakes which takes marginal value out of the range.
Hero- “villain can be really wide. He can have 8 2 suited.”
Then proceeds to change logic on river when counting bluff combos. If he’s lose he can have 16 combos of Q J and another 16 combos of 7 6 off. Too many combos of bluffs.
Hes bluffing but the ace is a weird one.
Ellen page?
Eww Canada, means she's vaxxed
Bart, why don’t you explain how it can be good for the game or good for either blind when there is a silly button straddle rule that makes the blinds act first? You gloss over that as if it is not an incredibly stupid rule
The turn bet lead just feels like a diamond draw. And I’d rule out villain having an A since they didn’t 3 bet pre-flop if they are loose aggressive. FWIW
It’s at least a Bull Dyke!!
