I might fire the river again.  It just looks like a draw to me.  And if he has the 10 its probably a chop.  I cant see much that beats you here.  If he had 67 or 78 I cant see him continuing past the turn unless he just happened to have 67 or 78hh.  Thinking he missed his draw or it chop-chop time.

Small blocker bet on the river is the only play here. You dont wanna check/call a big bet, and if you fire big to represent, you can easily lose chips or even get raised and vomit in your mouth a bit. Sick river but that is the way it goes sometimes.

I think if your going to fire the river because you think its a chop than theres merit in check/calling where the hearts and straightdraws missed, at least then you give him a chance to bluff at the pot if its not a chop and and if you are chopping theres no value being lost by check calling anyways.

 

A blocker bet allows him to shove as bluffs which would put you in a hard spot or allows him to shove hands that you chop with because he also thinks he can get you off a chop; also putting  you to a tough decision. Also a blocker bet makes him want to bluff less if he is behind. I doubt hes overbet jamming the river with a bluff and if he has a ten that chops with you he's just going to bet it nominally isn't he? He may even check behind with a Ten.

I am with slimb0 here, Check call is the play IMO.  I am not sure that he would call the check raise with a 2 hearts on on  one heart flop a ton of the time so I am more inclined to put him on  one pair hands like 99 88 JJ, 77 66.

I think a step back here may be in order. Do we really think that in the face of a substantial check/raise on the flop this guy is going to play with no made hand? Given stack sizes and the tournament you are in, I would be far more inclined to think that he is holding a T there, or 55-99 and doesn't think that a T is in your range. A lot of players will limp suited connectors at this level which means that 89 is in there, but I just don't think that it is a big enough part of his range to be losing sleep over. I am not surprised that he called the turn bet either as given the pre-flop action I don't expect the K or the Heart to really change the texture of the board. I would suspect more often than not you are looking at a T (JT, QT, 9T that sort of thing) and he just doesn't belive that the BB connected. So many players know that limpers get picked on. I think I bet hard on the river here and am happy to have him call. If he has a 7 here, gg us. I think you get value from so much of his range that I punish him for his limpy antics.

 

 

 

 

Hmm, I'm not sure what part of his range we get value from once that 7 falls on the riv except pairs like 44-66 that he gets stubborn with or A3hh which seems unlikely
