Bet is fine, I think, but I have to admit I have trouble figuring out what villain could be calling with here. Single pair of tens wouldn't seem out of the question since you're apparently betting a low draw. If he had better, I'd expect to see a raise in there somewhere to avoid chopping.

I agree. Your play here is fine. Villain should have folded to fifth-street and certainly to sixth-street bet. He was just donking it up at that point.

Def. 6th street bet. Well played.

I like it. Definite turn bet.


The river I *may* have bet though. He isn't showing a thing and may very well call you with a pair. A raise is an easy fold.

Do you call if he bets the river? If so then I think a lead is in order. An easy fold if he raises a river lead.

Thoughts about the river anyone else?

If he leads the river you should fold. It's an easy fold because you have shown aggression all the way with your apparant low, so if he does bet you can be certain he has your low two pair beat most of the time.

Of course he could be a terrible player and not have a clue, but I think even the bad players realise there is a chance they can get scooped here.

If you are check raised then it's an easy fold.

I think the best course of action is to just check behind. We got no info on this player and I think it is just a bit too optimistic here to think he called down with just a single pair.

I have seen it happen before, but it's usually Aces or Kings and seeing as we have seen one of each been discarded, the chances of them having them are reduced coupled with the fact there was no raise. Check the river and don't be too annoyed if you see him turn over Ten's up.

And 6th is a definite bet.

yea this is a pretty solid bet. but villian seems pretty weak to call down a river bet.
