River Value Bet

[iggymcfly 0]

Not the most interesting hand in the world, but I've been getting back to PLO after not playing too much lately so I thought I'd post a hand. Thoughts on every street? On the river, I didn't think I was getting called, but I was about 97% sure I was ahead, so I thought I'd see if KT wanted to give me $40. I am capable of making this bet as a bluff too, so if someone's paying attention, it's probably good from a metagame standpoint.***** Hand History for Game 4523309349 *****$200 PL Omaha - Thursday, June 15, 17:25:34 ET 2006Table Chip Change (No DP) (Real Money)Seat 9 is the buttonTotal number of players : 10 Seat 1: coinflipper3 ( $154.59 )Seat 3: olkku ( $411.96 )Seat 5: upenandink ( $200 )Seat 6: Antenna ( $242.55 )Seat 8: cliff62 ( $216.10 )Seat 7: iggymcfly ( $515.21 )Seat 4: Liquidum ( $136.55 )Seat 10: Svenning1 ( $119.25 )Seat 9: robertus111 ( $160.80 )Seat 2: LH7574 ( $275.65 )Svenning1 posts small blind [$1].coinflipper3 posts big blind [$2].** Dealing down cards **Dealt to iggymcfly [ 3h As Ah Jc ]LH7574 calls [$2].Liquidum folds.upenandink folds.olkku has left the table.Antenna calls [$2].iggymcfly raises [$11].cliff62 folds.robertus111 folds.Svenning1 folds.coinflipper3 folds.LH7574 calls [$9].Antenna calls [$9].** Dealing Flop ** [ Kh, 5d, Tc ]LH7574 checks.Antenna checks.iggymcfly bets [$34.20].LH7574 calls [$34.20].Antenna folds.** Dealing Turn ** [ 7d ]Do_Nutz has joined the table.LH7574 checks.iggymcfly checks.** Dealing River ** [ 7c ]LH7574 checks.iggymcfly bets [$40].LH7574 folds.iggymcfly does not show cards.iggymcfly wins $141.40

I think that it's a good bet. Someone with a king will probablly call you a lot here, because by checking the turn it looks like you missed a draw.

Are you calling if he bets the river?I can't believe he didn't bet after the passive turn check.

[iggymcfly 0]

Yeah, I'm calling if he bets the river. I figure a set probably would have let me know on the flop, and if he has a seven, that's just bad luck and I'll have to pay it off. By his flop and turn action, he's representing either kings up or a missed wrap on broadway.

i like that bet. forces out perhaps a higher 2 pair, very solid bet

A higher two pair?

*golf clap*Yes. We'll force out a higher two pair, despite the fact that we have the highest two pair and want all worse two pairs to call.Very solid analysis.

Maybe we should start collecting some of the priceless comments and analysis that CU has to offer... brilliant.

Guys, give CUIN4 a break. Yes we have aces up, but our opponent could easily have Jokers up, giving him a higher 2 pair. Seriously though I check the river, but I play PLO cash games way too tight probably.Iggy don't post results!

Don't forget about the possibility of crowns over anchors...
