I don't like the river bet.

What's calling us that we beat?

Would c/c be better? Induce a bluff from a busted draw...

Agreed. I don't mind the flop bet. The turn bet is debatable I think, but I'd bet it more than half the time. The River would usually be a check-call IMO.

It's probably close to a c/f if the villain really is loose passive...

I dont want to check/fold if i dont know the guy really well.

Even the most passive of monkeys grow a pair of testicles when you show such obvious weakness.


For me, it's between check/call and bet/fold. And the choice depends on how loose he is. The looser, the more inclined you should be to bet/fold. His WTSD would be a relevant stat, but i dont know what the figure would have to be to make it a bet versus a check.

c/c river.

Abba, I think he'd have to be REALLY LOOOOOOOSE and PASSIVE to bet here.
We are an underdog when he calls or bets.
But I think we fair better against his betting hands, given the board texture and prior play.
And, hopefully, he doesn't bet.

I may be all wet.
whooo hoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smaller pockets. Theres just about as many of them as Ax hands, I think.

Anyway, I like this hand. I bet the river, because I don't expect the loose passive to bluff that often, or value bet weaker hands. If he has an ace, you're ****ed iether way. If you chekc, and he bets, youre in a tough spot. Some loose passives won't bluff or value bet, others will closer to optimally than TAGs do. If you check, I think you have to fold. 0EV. I think that a bet has +ve value, even though you're an underdog.
