Multi-way you want to check a lot of hands. Cbetting with air is not generally going to be profitable. Since that’s the case, you want to protect your checking range with a few good hands; top pair second kicker might be a good candidate for this. If nobody leads out after you check back, then betting the turn is good. AP, betting the turn is fine also.

OTR, an obvious draw completes and villain donks big. Yes, that could be a bluff, but what is villain bluffing with after you’ve been aggressive for three streets? I’m inclined to fold to bets like this, especially at micros. Micro players rarely bluff late streets for large sizes.

BTW - please for future posts, do not include the final result. I still stand by my analysis on the river, but it’s much more difficult to analyze objectively when you know the result.


thank you, great inputs. Will remove the result in the future.


River donks are usually extremely strong. Think about what you would donk river with. It's usually value hands and they think you have hands that might call a bet but will check back if checked too. I think it's a good spot to overfold.
With the fishy SB in the hand I might size up flop but it's not a big deal either way.

is this fold too nitty? have no read on utg and felt like on a lot of rivers that did not complete the flush i snap call. although when the J comes i am so beat i feel like its never close. but would be great to get some feedback. i just started grinding and trying to get better. although overfolding feels like way to go at nl10. Gut says he rarely goes 3 streets with worse than AQ.


Why not raise flop? Good fold river.

You cannot fold a hand this good here. You felt certain he had QT?! I would bet turn but maybe a check is ok sometimes. But I don't think there's anyway we can fold river here. Why were you so sure he had QT?

I like a fold vs that size. Wp imo. Btw you can post each hand in its own thread. This is gonna get hard to read soon


The AQ hand is a 2 street hand at best against the sb, the turn overbet was overplayed. Surprised he got to the river without a made hand, but very unlikely for a worse hand to get there. Your only chance of winning against his pot sized bet is if he is bluffing AJ (1% at best)

The AT hand looks fine to me.

For the KK hand, vilain was representing a worse set than yours every street. I will take a wild guess that you made the fold late into a losing session...

The second AT hand, vilain told you otf that he wanted to put all the chips in. I would only call flop with hands I'm confortable calling turn with
