Without any reads, I'm just calling his riverbet. He 'should' have at least a 5 here for a split.

Btw, this is not really a BvB situation, as MP is also seeing the flop. BvB is when it gets checked to SB.

Two things on this hand. When SB 3 bets that paired turn it's a definite possibility you're facing a full house here. Even if this is a split pot all the raising will do is generate the rake. If you won outright, SB is simply a doofus and good job. :D

Unless your opp is a mental case you are a chop or behind. If you see has virtually no money left, then he might be spewing and agg play makes more sense. Note that this puts him mental case category. :wink:

Although it's possible that opponent is sitting on a non fh 2 the most likely scenario for hero, as has been pointed out, is a split or a loss.

You're behind to: A2, AA,22,44,24. All possible hands from a SB that just needed to complete. (even AA if they're trying to be "tricky"). Fill house involving a 3 is unlikely since he was getting aggressive on the turn already, although 23 is possible. 6 high straight is unlikely.

At 1-2 he might also have a number of hands that you beat (other than trip 2's), (Ax other than A2 would be the most likely), depending on how spewey he is - but you shouldn't count on that.

Just call the river bet.

The SB in this hand was a 53/10/1.5 and his AF on the flop was a 2.1 . So I had strong reason to believe that if he held any of these hands he would have Bet or Check Raised the flop. I also believed this was the type of player to go nuts with a 2x type hand. Also keep in mind that this is a 6 max game.

2.1 is not an overly high aggression factor.

I believe that a 2.1 FlopAF would have raised/bet with 2 pair or better on the flop. This would have made it less likley that he turned a full house.

BTW I think I might have posted this hand in the wrong forum. :wink:
