Hi!
Nowadays I had many problems in theese situations (against regs and fishes too), when I'm IP, I have a set and I can't decide whether I have calue in my bet... I'm afraid but also I don't want to leave value in the hand.
It's a good example for this... and I think in this hand it's more a bet than a check.
On the flop... the cbet could be a bit problematic, but he folds very often + there's a scarecard down + I have a
so I preferred betting.
On the turn I'm happy... there I should bet bigger against him.
And there comes the typical river, which gives me headache nowadays. However, I thought I could get calls from AX-es, slowplayed sets/two pairs (because he's a fish, so he can have them)... and he could turn theese hands into a bluff too (he's kinda semi-aggro), so I think it's an easy bet/c.
One last reason is the mentioned Q :club:, which decreases the chances of flueshes... but it's also questionable how significant is that?
So... what do you think about the whole situation... and theese spots in general?:)
Thank you!
