Alisa Posted 7 hours ago Alisa Posted 7 hours ago π Top Pair on the River: Easy Call or Painful Fold?Β β£οΈ You open Kβ Qβ and reach the river with top pair and a strong kicker. The Board is in front of your eyes& None of the obvious draws get there. You bet for value, expecting calls from weaker kings, a ten, or a stubborn pocket pair. Then your opponent suddenly shoves all-in. β‘ What can they be representing for value? Sets: 10-10, 7-7, 2-2 or 3-3 Two pair such as K-10 A rare slow-played monster that waited until the river to attack Β The problem is that the board is very dry, so there are not many natural missed draws available as bluffs. For a call to be profitable, your opponent needs to turn a weaker made hand into a bluff or deliberately attack your thin value bet. Β At the same time, folding top pair with a queen kicker on such a harmless river feels extremely tight. Especially against an aggressive player who understands that your line often looks like one pair rather than a monster. What is your move? Join the Table Call β there are still enough bluffs in the range or Fold β river shoves on dry boards are rarely a joke? π Link to comment https://invision.prod.aws.1winforum.com/topic/1740-%E2%80%8B-%F0%9F%83%8F-top-pair-on-the-river-easy-call-or-painful-fold-%E2%80%8B/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
