[2NL] BU 3bet v CO - Bluff river or take the showdown

Hi guys,

I'm leaning towards betting (80% pot) since he has loads of weak pocket pairs here and I expect this x-x-x line to be very under protected, like V pretty much never has a hand like 77 here. Argument for just taking SD is, are we really getting a hand like 99 to fold?

GG rush & cash so just go with pool tendencies.

GGPoker, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Pokeit

UTG: $2.00 (100 bb)
MP: $1.89 (95 bb)
CO: $2.59 (130 bb)
BU (Hero): $3.69 (185 bb)
SB: $3.04 (152 bb)
BB: $2.00 (100 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BTN with K A
2 players fold, CO raises to $0.04, Hero 3-bets to $0.13, 2 players fold, CO calls $0.09

Flop: ($0.29) 7 6 J (2 players)
CO checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($0.29) 4 (2 players)
CO checks, Hero checks

River: ($0.29) 4 (2 players)
CO checks, Hero?

River here is the easiest check ever , you practically never fold out better so unless you are trying to get value from AQ/A10 you accomplish 0 betting


By the river this is just a check - The hands you are targeting would likely require 2 streets of betting to make fold.

When the opponent checks three times, they can also be trying to showdown a worse Ace high.


You beat showdown value (AQ) and they won't bluff some hands they should bluff (suited connectors I assume ?) so checking is best I believe.


It's a click back since you haven't bet anywhere else.


It would be more of a value bet, but risky vs a passive low-stakes population.
