Slightly Thin River VB

Results 1 to 4 of 4
  1. #1

    Default Slightly Thin River VB

    11/9 over 65 hands, had folded blinds to a steal 8/8 times so far, overall ATS of 16%.

    weaktight | Hand Poll | KJs - $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Holdem

    Preflop and flop are standard, calling range pre is TT-22, JT, QT, KT, AT, QJ, KJ, AJ, KQ, AQ. Perhaps a few combo's of slowplayed AA/KK.

    On the turn bet/folding seems best, river I'd prefer to block bet like $1.50 or maybe c/f. I usually have the best hand, but that's not enough to VB right?

    its hard getting hung up on the 50% for value betting thing when your OOP because a lot of the time if you check you are going toget bluffed off your hand. So if you think theres a decent chance of him bluffing you off your hand then a blocking bet is fine, if you think theres a good % chance he'll check behind then you can check here.

    Only real worse thats calling you is like JT....maybe once in a blue moon the odd pair of tens or 9s

    Seems kind of hard to find hands that you beat, you have to be very optimistic. Check/fold isn't bad here.

    Against an 11/9, this is more of a bluff to get him to fold AJ. I tend to value bit thin against passive fish. Does such a tight player even have TJ and J9 in his range?
