50E - Aa

Hi all,

Check/call turn check/call river seems fine but we can just go for bet/bet/shove line instead. It allows us to rep the naked ace of clubs and get called down by decent chunk of pairs. I expect 55-88 with a club to often float the turn again.

I think bet/bet/bet should be ok.
If I check turn to c/r, since I don´t think he would bluff that often river and he would check back all his showdown hands
Also it seems also kind of bluffy, so you likely get called sometimes 88c and likely always JJ-KK

hands like 88c rarely bet the turn I think.

I would bet turn 88, so I think 50% of times hero would likely face turn bet with medium pp or AT. Other 40% should be floats and 5-10% is likely flushes or better.

I think, very rarely someone will call me 3 streets with Tx or 8c8x,7c7x.
So I can`t take three streets value from these hands. If I bet/bet/bet, I will take two streets value in the best case. If I bet/check/bet he often calls my river bet, so I take two streets value again.
But when I check turn, I take value from a lot floats, which very often fold on the turn vs aggression. And he can sometimes continue bluffing on the river. The stacks are very big for check/push and he won`t call me with weaker hands. The only benefit is that he will fold hands with some equity.
If I check/call turn, I think check/call every river(without J,Q,K) is fine. Because I think his floats are often hands like KQ,KJ,QJ and he will often check them when he hit showdown value.

I don´t think he would check back too often tp with good kicker if he should hit his K on the river, since he is usually ahead and has easy valuebet (unless it is 4-th club)
You should have a lot weaker hands in your c/c range what you can turn into bluff catcher

best regards,

agreed. Here we can get value from 2 combos of ATs and 6 combos of JJ if we take bet/bet/bet line.

I block AcX combos, so maybe the both lines with this hand are fine, because I am not afraid of many river cards.
Certainly is better to bet/bet/bet with JJ+(without Ac).

You block a lot of his semibluffs too though. With JJ it's close because JJ is one of the best hands we're getting value against.
