I know I'm way out of my league posting here, but I think I find a fold. His OOP line looks super-strong to me. This guy was surely gonna check-raise you on the turn, that didn't work out so he jams the river to rep a bluff. It's a monster or air. I err on the side of caution this time and fold to preserve my status as chip leader.

I am like Gary. I feel like I am way out of my league posting here but I am gonna give it a shot. In real time I would have likely folded. But as I look at the HH I think that the check on the turn may indicate he was shutting down or trying for a free river card.If he had a monster why wouldnt he put in a bet on the turn to give himself an approx. pot size shove on the river? When you check back the turn he may have decided that you were floating the flop light and figured he could take the pot by shoving on the river. I guess my question is would he check the turn with a strong hand being there are straight draws on the board? Like I said I would probably have folded when he put me in this position in real time.

Great post bigdog. My thoughts lean towards what he would bet oop with pre. I feel he is doing this with 99+ or AK. I gave him a narrow range there but the way the hand played out I think it is a decent assessment.

The check on the turn is so confusing because if he had AK then maybe he checks turn for pot control and when you check behind he might shove river for value thinking he must have best hand….but what would you call a river shove with that doesn't beat AK, pretty much the only hand would be KQ which u have and he cant put you on that.

What about medium to high pairs. You float flop, he gets scared and checks turn, when he sees you check behind he thinks you are light and he shoves on a semi-bluff with JJ?

Those are my thoughts. Really tough spot. I feel villian most likely has TT or JJ. Hope you called him down. Interested in result.

I call. Smells like a beaten hand. His previous shove on you gives him confidents in the non call. If truly had aa, ak, he would want to be looked up with that river and wouldn't check the turn. 88, 99, 44, 33 preflop raise sizing to stacks hes coming in against doesn't seem right. I would think jj, qq, or a well played 89 suited, but again two pair would want a call so I lean to jj or qq. I call but then again Im responding to this and not at my own final table… tonight.

My instincts say he riveted a set of 3s and is trying to extract maximum by confusing you into calling what looks like a fishy ‘please fold’ bet. My head tells me he doesn’t need to bluff like this so big so why would he risk his life on a bluff praying you don’t hero call. My logic tells me you wouldn’t be posting it here if you hadn’t called and lost the hand. Fold on all 3 counts.

lol some interesting thoughts here guys. I really was confused and had no idea what hand he was doing this with. So after using my complete time bank I ended up calling and he had 10 5 of diamonds. A couple people mention they think he might have JJ or hands in that range. Def dont think hes turning that hand into a bluff with a over jam he might decide to bet for value with the jj but doubt hes over jamming the pot. Alot of times he prolly even checks jj there. Anyway thanks for the responses guys. And gl on the felts.

Wow, great call!

The line looks kinda scary I dont think I can fold here. His representing range with that line that actually beats you taking into account the turn check with the intention of check raising you is pretty slim (AA, AK, maybe 88, 99, 98s or cooled with KK?).
