You lead for 660 into 1085, and the BB folds. The CO calls and the button folds. The turn brings the 2♥, and you lead for 1750 into 2405. The CO flat calls again and the river brings the K♥.
You bet 4200 into 5905. The CO raises you all in. What’s your play, and how do feel about the river lead?

If this is a bluff it’s a very elaborate one. He’s a calling station, which means he’s not capable of pulling of such a bluff. Probably had 5h4h. Very easy fold.
[Reply]
Cant see a bluff here…
agree with geronimo, maybe 5h4h, 6h7h, I even can imagine a K9…
Fold.
[Reply]
I think he’s got aces, and hopes Ive got kings. I call, and gamble that he’s out.
[Reply]
if on a draw….the guy was pot commited on the turn,,,,,couldnt slow play a set, with that flop
[Reply]
two pair, again, huh? The bane of my existence.
I don’t like the lead on the river – I’ve just built a big pot with a small hand. I don’t think we can represent the flush since we’ve been leading all the way. I think I would check the rivier nd then make a decision to call/fold.
[Reply]
With the weak 2 pair I would have bet the pot, and try to take it down right then, same on the turn. Looks to me like the guy made some questionable calls to the river and now you’ve been run down. Not easy to lay down but you must be beat.
[Reply]
I don’t dislike the bet on the river although I would have made a slightly smaller one. If he’s really loose he might still call with top pair.
A check on the river is very dangerous because you’re basically screaming ‘Damn, if he bets big I can’t call, because I can’t beat a flush…’. So it’s also a blocking bet.
[Reply]
what the he ll did he call with from the CO and just sit on for 2-3 betting rounds. This one really has me twisted because he most likely didnt limp with AA-1010 nor did he call with K3, K5, 23, 25, K2…
The only thing i can think is he called with two overs thinking you were making a play at the pot on the flop. Then he picked up a flush draw on the turn and hit it on the river…OR he slow rolled a set all the way to the river although he should have raised on the turn based on your strength and possible straight and flush draw and the fact that youre in the blinds.
OR hes a donkey…
[Reply]
I don’t like the preflop call
the flop bet should have been bigger, closer to the pot-size and maybe even more than the pot
same with the turn!
if he is still there on the river I check and give him a chance to bluff, which means I have to call
as it played, it is indeed a tough spot – the blinds are starting to get pretty high for your stack if you fold so I lean towards calling…
[Reply]
I voted call.
I don’t see a bluff from him here or that he’s just a calling station. If he’s really that loose, I think it’s just as likely that he has a holding like x9o, where x is A-Q, or TT-AA. Correct me if I’m wrong, but loose and passive suggests that he’ll start with a wide range of hands but won’t bet them for value. I’d be willing to pay him off to prove to me that he’s been chasing a flush that he hit on the river or sitting on K9 (which couldn’t be a flush draw). Otherwise I think he’s convinced that his overpair is a winner. Maybe that’s why I’m captain of the Donkey Club.
As for the river lead, I’m more concerned about having underbet the flop. That should have been pot-sized or bigger in my opinion.
[Reply]
I voted wrong i realize, I said call.
This is really a folding spot. I wouldnt be surprised to see him flip ober K9 or the like.
I dont know how someone could possibly disagree with the preflop call.
But on flop I would have bet pot, allthough it looks obvious. In an unraised pot, a potsized bet on flop is reasonable.
On the river I would have made a small blockerbet. The big committing bet I dislike. Checking is just as bad. I hate myself for the countless times I havent made a blockerbet on river. Rigth now you only beat a bluff.
[Reply]
I have a hard time pulling the trigger a 3rd time on the river with two pair in this spot. I check and fold to any significant bet.
[Reply]
i have to push all in after the flop…..unless he has a set of 3,s he,s drawing to my vunerable hand…..the odds of him hitting his set (%5) i have to feel im much better than a coin toss, in the lead at this point. id rather win a smaller pot now than slow playing the best hand at the flop…..slow playing being short of putting all my chips in after the flop……..now i dont know this player,,,,,,how he would play a set….how much he,s willing to risk on a draw……as we all know amature players will chase with low % of catching……so we dont have the info on this guy,,,,,,,there are people id lay this hand down on,,,,,if i fired a big shell on the flop and he called….yes he hit the set………versus a chaser. oh one more thing people……3 types of players……live , internet, and home game t,v watchers…..watch your table image….terms like sick and donkey,,,,,are used againts you on pro players…..in live games…….., what you see on t.v is usualy short handed , high blinds, (gears have been switched) you cant take this mentality to a live pot limit game, there 2 differnt beast, also your internet style of aggresivness, will catch up to you……the real money is not in tourney play, (have to win to many coin flops) besides look under your t,v programming, on t,v tourneys, there under game show,s and thats what they are, and remebr no matter how this hand here played out…….did you realy set down to play and win big with one hand, and quit ? noooo so you people who call other,s names online because they suck out on you….you eighther lose them, or tighten up there play…by being rude…..you only hurt you and the rest of the table………G.H is the right reponse, youll get them in the end.but not if you run them off!

I put this guy on A-3h or A-5h and his calling station just got lucky. fold
[Reply]
I put him on two pair. He stayed in as he got a bit of the flop and hit his king as well.
