NL5 6-max - AA UTG v BB - Topset - wet board

Not sure why there isn’t a reaction about this hand, because this is a very interesting 1 I think.
Especially the river is interesting and it’s for me difficult to set him on a flush or straight here. So I would play the hand the same way as cash game fish.

According to the Baluga Theorem, we should fold turn with less than too 2p.
Nothing special about this hand.

The only special thing about this hand is villian's silly play. He loose tons of value when you check this river behind with your Jx QQ,KK, AdXd holdings. Most probably he hoped that you would bet with a missed draw or something. Please do not post spoilers next time.

As played i am folding turn unless i have reads for a maniac/bluffy opponent.

When you hit top set on river i dont think we can fold. We beat all his set/2p combos and lose to few flush combos (68s, 78s, 67s, 56s, 58s, T8 which is a straight on the turn). He should be folding the rest on the flop as they do not have any additional equity besides just two overs and a backdoor flush draw.

We can fold this OTT and not worry about it too much.
OTR some stupid straight and flush are possible Maybe we should be safe and check behind? When you bet I think you get good odds to call villains shove too.

Without looking to spoiler: I would have x this river and make a note for villain where he/she is raising with OTT. Better to have info now and money later

Looking to spoiler: Bummer man but at least you know that he can semi-bluff you and not understand the principle why he is betting.

Villain is not so dumb. Any 6, T, spade helps him. Paired board helps him too as we may not call always there.

I think your reasoning for the turn call make sense, but I would rather fold. I believe players will have a very good hand OTT (Two Pairs +) more often than a draw. Also, if we supose that sets would raise the flop, we could also supose that draws would raise the flop, so if he check/raised a draw OTT, he would have to have backdoor draws OTF which check/called and decided to check/raise the turn, which is not that likelly at those stakes, especially given positions involved in this hand.

I think villain is quite dumb for calling this hand preflop. ♦ Postflop I wouldn't fold the flop with his hand either. His turn play is interesting because most villains would just check/call, so I like his play. He should bet the river then.

I was addressing the turn play...

So you are saying that villain may have enough FE against Hero OTT?

It is combined - FE and he can improve. And the fact that he does this with weaker holdings is good.

His check raise on the turn is indeed good and not many NL5 players would do it because they know they do not have much fold equity. Current hand shows exactly the same as it seems hero is in love with his aces and cant find the fold button.

However, villian must bet the river himself as in the long term hero will be checking back almost 100% of his range except spade flushes and set of aces. This makes the bet on the rive by villain far more profitable than check raise. Villian was also lucky to be against the one hand that would call him off and is behind. The rest that call river raise are flushes and all of them higher.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I think you are right about the Turn. If we boil it down, without specific reads, most players at these stakes aren't bluffing us. So are they doing it with worse? Probs not, so they're doing it with 2pr+ like people have pointed out.

You are welcome.
