River bet is super thin. The only hand I could see you targeting in villain's range is 8x. Most draws got there and it seems optimistic to think 8x calls with overpairs, sets, flushes, straights and two pairs on the board.
Classic value own?
I think the it's a call on river. RE is relatively low, and you still have TPTK. Bluffs are present for BB with so many potential draws and how wide he is likely playing given the board and action. However, I agree that getting to SD with a check back on river is better considering your showdown value is decent. A 25% bet on river folds out almost nothing and reopens action on a board that is largely better for BB range.
Thanks for sharing!
Your flop/turn sizing’s solid, but river bet’s thin vs a passive pool. Bet smaller or check back river next time.
I always bet 70-80% with TPTK when there’s a flush or a strait draw, especially IP after a check. Then, when the draw completes OTT, I either check back or bet 30% and call a check-raise, aiming to call river if facing small bet or even fold in case of a larger one. Am I nuts?
At NL25, nobody bluff-raises rivers. Easy muck.
Bet slightly more on river considering your read.
I'm leaning shove, but it's probably close EV wise. I'm not calling though.
