Bleh, it's like UBER thin if it is.

don't you think a 5 or 9 or trips check-raises me?

Probably, but that doesn't mean it's a bet.For it to be a bet, at least one of two things has to happen:(1) He needs to call with worse hands.(2) He needs to fold better hands.If he doesn't do any of this, then there is no value in a bet.Sure, I could see a worse ace call here. I don't think we ever fold a pair though. Like I said, if anything, it's ultra thin.

let me ask you thisaren't you calling this river with Ax hands?

[Zach6668 513]

You didn't include the read that I was the villain.

[mikeysong 0]

what kind of response is that?

[Zach6668 513]

I don't bluff with T high or anything like that. Randoms do.I do call with Ax, sometimes. Randoms also call with Ax, but they bet with a ton more.

i'm the one bettinghe's only been calling and he hasn't shown any aggression on what i would say is a relatively safe boardsoI think there's value in betting this

[Zach6668 513]

And I still say he bets more hands you beat than he calls with, and I really don't think it's close.

No, it's ok. I'm retarded.Now, if we were OOP, then apply my analysis would be hot.Pretty sure I check behind here like 99% of the time though.

Don't listen to the haters mikey, this is a definite value bet. The fact that the bottom card paired eliminates one of his most likely passive holdings makes ace high far and away the most likely remaining option. I think your AQ will get paid off regularly here.

When against an UTG preflop raiser, I see my Ax hands beating very little.In BB's position, I do not call the river with a missed Ace-rag.Actually, I fold the turn ui.I would love to value bet my AQ here if I believed a decent Villain would often call with less.I don't believe they would.So I don't value bet 5th street.

Sure, on the river --CM
