Message: [QUOTE="feitr, post: 783241, member: 34106"] Nah i think you are giving him way too much credit. The guy tried to bluff the hero who wouldn't even lay his A high hand down aka villain = donk. The majority of hands that call this flop don't have a 6 and if you are an aggressive player it is a hand like this that you get your payoff by value betting. And the river shove isn't as "bluffy" as you would think seeing as it is only half the pot so is only marginally larger than a value bet would be (and it isn't like you bet 400 if you have a geniune hand leaving 100 in your stack). It's just too pointless to try and make a stand on a hand like this. Even if he is bluffing so what? Do you really want to call him to the river then find he has bottom pair or a better ace or something? You only even beat a little over half the A rags under 9 seeing as the flop had 678. Also zach i totally disagree with checking behind on the turn in a situation like this if you have AK. If somebody is calling the turn bet with a 6 they are probably just as inclined to call your turn value bet with a 7 and if i flop top pair i'm not letting anybody see free cards/lose value bets. If somebody calls the turn bet then i would check the river behind tho with a genuine hand, so in that sense i see where you are going with it being an odd line. But when you only have 555 left it might as well all go in so it is hard to take too much from that i think. EDIT: Wait i misread what you said...yes checking the river behind would be logical but as i said with 555 chips left you might as well win big or bust. Anyways point is that nobody should be in the pot at the river. [/QUOTE]
