Hello,

Why are we betting the turn if we are only expecting only better hands to call? And why are we betting pot size?

Overall, I don't really think that only better call us here so I would bet the turn for sure, but I'd make it around $1.2.

As played, I would push the river for his left stack.

Best,
Plamen

Hi

I am betting turn for value and the reason for a pot size bet is because i would think that villian would likely ship his entire stack to me with a weaker ace.

As for the river,i think i should ship it considering the line i took at the turn.Not check why i check though,maybe hindsight.

I a a little bit confused here.

once he flat me,i know i am most likely beat.

You mean that he is going to just call with strong hand and shoves Ax?
If so, I would rather disagree with this as he is most likely to shove his Kx as well if he shoves Ax, so I think we should bet the river.

Sorry about making you confused as i lost this hand and that is why i mixed the results with my thoughts.

Yeah,i agree with you.If he had Kx or Ax and the way i played it,i should indeed bet the river once he checked with the line i took.If he have Kx(which he have),i must pay him off according to how i played it on the turn.
