Poker Strategy: Top Two Pair Scary Board

Texas Holdem Strategy Video Source & Information:

Bart Hanson from Crush Live Poker talks poker strategy about having top two pair on a one liner.

Gene calls in another one where he calls on the turn with top pair and a straight draw facing a strange turn donk lead from his big blind opponent. The river improves Gene’s hand to top two pair and the big blind checks. How thin should he go when anyone with an ace or a nine has a straight?

Poker Strategy: Top Two Pair Scary Board

  1. IMHO once you think on the turn v is scared of an ace, the river should be a semi bluff shove. Hope your best or that he could fold a baby straight.

  2. Your bet on the river was awful. The only way he is folding river is if you go All-In. Even then though there's a very good chance that he calls. You literally have about the 50th nuts on the river. You made the right call on the turn and it would of been a terrible raise on the turn, since you can easily be re-popped in the spot with it being multi-handed pot. It was just a bad run out of cards really. Not much you can do in that spot except check / fold and wait for a better spot. 200$ was definitely not enough to get him off his hand lol.

  3. Thank you for changing the owner and operator introduction. However I think ‘owner and lead technician’ would be more appropriate

  4. Sounds like this guy needs an energy drink. I'm checking back the river 99.9% of the time.

  5. Two fish butchering a hand!The donk on turn with J9 is ridiculous but the “value bet” into that board is outrageous🤣 Betting two pair there is basically a bluff,this guy needs to stop playing and read up on betting theory

  6. Why wasn't there more discussion of turning the KQ into a bluff on the river? The villain basically never has Ax when he snap checks the river, it's usually a hand he is intending on c/c a normal size bet with…like a 9. Or a worse hand that is never calling a river bet anyway. The dilemma is between turning your hand into a bluff to potentially getting him off bottom end of the straight, or checking back to take the showdown value.
