Poker Is this River Play as terrible as I think...?

Discussion in 'Poker Forum' started by Poker Advice Latest, Oct 6, 2020.

  1. So, to give context, I have a note on V that says that whenever V misses the flop, they bet 1/3 pot usually, and i recorded the number of times I'd seen that in that session as 4. He also opens quite light, and will 4bet some random hands (small PP, QJs) esp when on button.


    I think I probably make 2 questionable plays: perhaps calling the 4bet pre (though I think my odds were good enough once it had got to that stage), but also my river shove. I was certain he had not connected with the flop, and when V checks turn I am almost certain he has 55 or worse, AQ, or possibly a hand like AJ, JQ... That was my logic jamming the river, knowing he'd check back any showdown value if he had it.


    Other than not getting in this spot in the first place by overplaying the SB, which I think I did a bit in that session, what are people's thoughts on the play on the river? Thank you!
