This hand is more of a check-up than anything else. Please critique.

I'd fold the river. Doubt he's betting with a hand that has you beat. I actually would probably also check/fold the turn too.

I think folding the turn is a big mistake. This guy plays over 50% of his hands. He could easily have a lower pair, a draw, or nothing at all.

It's tough for me to say because I've never played at 2/4, but I think he most likely has a K or A and you are wa/wb here. I still wouldn't lead the turn, maye check/call is an option.

I play it the same. Nice river check, getting re-raised on the river sucks.

I don't really want to give a free card if I'm ahead. Also, if he's ahead, he may raise and I can then get away from teh hand for 1 bet instead of 2.

I like the turn bet, but I think the river is a check/fold. I think you win this less than 10% of the time.

There's over 200 ways he could have an A or a K, and only 35 ways he could have a flush draw you can beat. Plus an A or a K is more likely to cold call PF than two low spades.

What about the times he has QJ, JT, or QT?

How about 88-44?

54, 64, or 65?

I have to be good on the river 13% of the time to make calling correct.

Hands that beat me (assume he would raise somewhere with AA/KK/33/22):

QQ-TT (18 combos)
Ax (138 combos)
Kx (84 combos)

Total = 240 combos. That means that there has to be 36 combos of cards that he could have in this situation that would make calling correct. (36/(36 + 240).

88-44 gives us 30.
QJ/QT/JT gives us another 48.

This does not even include the flush combos, or the 2x/3x combos, or the 65/64/54 combos he could have.

It seems to me his aggro. factor is a little high for him to be calling on the flop with QJ, JT, QT. 88-44 have no business calling the turn, but a very loose player might call down with them. 65 and 64 might cold-call the flop, and might call the turn.

I agree that these hands are at least somewhat possible, and push it closer to a call. But without a specific read on the player that he will chase hands like this, I think they're a very small possibility.

hey screech..is bet/fold an option here? why or why not?

this is standard, nh. given your read, i mean.

aseem

missed draws don't call, but they might bet or raise.

see why this means bet/fold sucks?

aseem

yea, true. Im still trying to find situations to use the bet/fold line. thanks.

use bet/fold where you miss value by checking, but that if you're raised, you are almost always beat.
