How much to bet

Hectorjelly

Ok this is against the same player. On the river I think that he has a strong hand. Its probably a seven of some description. A7 K7 Q7 are all likely, he is quite loose preflop. He could have quads, or a a boat; both of which Im sure will play back at me on the river. Again there is a small chance of AA or 88 or some hand like that, but I doubt they call much if any on the river.

I was hoping he would aise the turn btw.

I would prob bet slightly more than half the pot, maybe $30. This gives him the option to reraise, thinking your bet was weak and also might intice him to call if he is only holding two pair.

Now I know you were ahaed with the AQ.

How likely is he to call that turn bet on a flush draw? He could have a butload of different hands. I'm assuming you hoped he'd raise the turn because you thought he made a straight. I could be wrong I'd imagine if he had the 7 he'd have raised the turn too. He could have a huge range 77-99. Tx. 68, J8 or the hearts. Given the action I think you should bet 2/3 the pot on the river. It depends what you put him on. If you think he was on the flush draw you should obviously check.

This is a nice problem to have, with no right or wrong answer. The big problem of course is Im not sure how strong his hand is.

I thought $100 was a nice round number. Its a overbet but its not that big, plus it might look like im trying to push him around.

LMAO! He had A7?
