    In Response to Re: How much should I raise here? : oh dear and what fold to a shove? lol easy shove, villan c-c turn and donk flop looks very much like a slow played flush. if could be a blocker bet, but if it is the whole point of blocker bets are to get a cheap price to showdown, so when you raise they are going to fold. So id shove and go for max value, you range is really polarized at this point to either the NUTS or AIR so good spot imo.

    i mean thats a nice sentence and everything but it doesnt apply here. No one is shoving air in this spot.

    Good thread scotty, i would make it 93. I think shoving isnt a great option.

    In Response to Re: How much should I raise here? : raise <100 imo, shove does good job of making them fold what we can actually hope to get value from. sets are not bet calling this river especially not to a shove that's so lol.

    heh I don't think I need to advertise. I don't want to say any more but don't be 100% sure that noone is ever  bluffing when they can rep the nuts and their opponent have their hand face up.

    re the hand: obviously you are not allowed to shove if you cannot rep bluffs at all

    it's kinda pointless to hide from search when i'm on most tables at some limits!

    In Response to Re: How much should I raise here? : if we make it 93 it's 60 to cawl into 191.25  if we shove it's 186.33 to cawl into 317.58 , big diff in the odds he is getting (191.25/60 [or just />3:1] vs 317.58/186.33 [or ~1.7:1])

    yep mathematically cant argue with ya. however like Harvey has already said by re-raising the river to £80-90 we are kind of telling our opponent "i have a flush". a shove on the river does look more bluffy, and we are getting max value from hands that would call a £90 re-raise - which imo would be only flushes or sets. any other hand probably folds anyway, so you may as well try and get max value from your hand. if you was the villian in this hand would you fold a K or Q flush to a shove? would u fold any flush to a shove? ...

    i think the original bet of 120 into the vilain with 180 behind if hes calling 120 hes calling 180, is there a argument for the overbet if you would do this with your air to against a thinking player?

    I wouldn't be playing the river this way so I wouldn't be in this sort of situation. 

    If oppo has a low flush then it's purely a case of what you think he will call more often.
  • edited July 2010

    ok you wouldnt be in this situation. whatever the hand of the villian he has played it extremly wierd, hands like KQ/KJ/K-10/QJ/Q-10/J-10/67/23 clubs are all possible (and most probable in real time) or some very weirdly played set, straight or 2 pair (most probable now as we know villian folded to scottys re-raise)...
    however in the moment im putting villian on some sort of flush-hopefully not 6-7 and im shovin the lot for max value, no way is the villian folding the majority of those hands to a shove (especially given scottys rep)

    looking a bit deeper, what do you reckon his pf range is in this spot?


    imo his weakest flush is J flush but then again his line on the river suggests he is betting to get to showdown/set the price himself. 

    if you think he can play sets like this then i'd make a small raise, if you think he never has sets here with the river lead then I think shove is fine. I do think though that like 93/ai are the only two options.

    i really cant make my mind up between set or flush, hes called from the blind so he must have a reasonably connected hand which would be 10j jq, would he call oop with that lower junk? i would tip more towards a set personally i dont like calling late raisers with them mid PPs but alot of regs do i think he checks turn for pot control then thin values blocks the river
