hero checks that oh-so-scary river, BB bets, hero raises, BB calls.



how often does this c/r work on the river? often enough to give er a go?

If he's over aggressive enough, he probably bets any river if he's checked to.

- Zach

We only have to succeed half the time for a c/r to be profitable, and given that the villain is aggressive, I think this is likely to happen.

This doesn't consider the times that we lead and get to 3-bet though, which I think is also a possibility given villain's playing tendency. However, since we check/raised the turn, I think this puts a damper on the number of hands that villain would be frisky enough to raise the river with, so c/ring is better.

i complete this most of the time pre-flop.

if you think your hand is good, why don't you check/call the flop and c/r thet turn?
if hes a good player and he 3-bets us pre-flop, i am not check/raising this flop

I think it's ok given the player description. But I still usually bet.

Most players will take the free showdown after you check/raise the turn. You have shown a lot of strength, and they will be happy to show it down. Plus, they hate getting check/raised on both the turn and the river.

I think he only bets when he has AA/JJ, AJ, or Ax. He may also bet KK-QQ and some Jx hands for value, but I think this is rare given the strength you've shown. Also, he may decide to raise AJ, allowing you to 3-bet.

The river check is absolutely terrible.
