    Default Big river bet HU, again

    Rather than just resurrecting the old thread, I figured I'd start a new one. This guy is a shark... his ROI and Av. Stake stats are very similar to mine, though his graph shows more variance.

    I checked the flop because he'd been floating me a lot on unlikely-looking boards, so I'd have to fire two barrels at least if I was going to C-bet. I decided I'd rather just see a free card, as there is a lot that could help me - any 8,9,J,Q,K or A lets me bet the turn quite nicely.

    I folded to his river bet/bluff after much thought. I didn't think a flush was likely, but trip Ts seemed entirely within his range. In retrospect, though, I think I should have called, because he made a lot of moves I'd make, and I know what I'd be holding here, the way the hand played out. Any guesses?

    I think the river is an easy call because this would be a weird line for him to take with a T.

    I don't think it is... I'd be on a T a lot of the time here... try to C/R the flop, when that fails, flat call the turn as you're not sure where you're at... river, you're representing a bluff and many donks will call you even with a 4 or 2...

    But I'm not a donk, and he knows that. Since I know he's not a donk, I probably wouldn't have a T here either. So you're right, it's probably not a T, though that was my first impression. I'm also pretty sure it's not a flush. Do you know why?

    So... I think you're right, but what does he actually have? Or if he was me, what would I have here?
