Live €550 game.
Hero has been active but not really out of line thus far.
BTN likes playing IP and has shown good TAG qualities, but may defend a tad wide here.
Blinds 50/100.
Preflop (150);
Folds to hero (UTG+1) who raises to 250 with 7h6h. BTN calls. BB calls.
Flop (800); Ks-8s-6c
Checked to hero who cbets 400.
BTN calls after seeming to mull over his options for a little longer than normal. BB folds.
Turn (1600); Ah
Hero bets 875.
BTN calls, a little quicker this time but still gave it some thought.
River (3350); 8h
Hero checks. BTN bets 2275. Hero..?
So my thinking went like this. On the flop I may very well still have the best hand, however my cbet will look strong and may fold out some hands that beat me while also preventing the free card to two players. Once called, I suspect villains range is mainly composed of Kx/8x/JJ-77/draws.
When I bet again OTT it's to fold out the mediocre 1P hands that may have called me OTF, as this is obv a great scare card for me to barrel, however once called I think I can safely rule out these hands and assign a range of Kx/combo-draw.Combo draws here are basically flush-draws with gut-shots, namely QsJs/QsTs/JsTs/Ts9s/etc. or AsXs hands that got there.
I check the river because I don't think I accomplish anything by betting, but once villain bets this big I'm slightly confused.. Thoughts?
