Question
You’re playing in a six-max game online. In this hand you raise it to $8 from under the gun and it’s folded to the loose player on the button. He calls, everyone else folds and the flop comes A
5
8
. You bet $14 and he calls. Your read on the button is that he plays aggressively and does not slow-play. The turn comes 2
; you bet $32 and he calls. The river comes 2
.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Check-call
Now if your read on him is that he has an ace, then by all means the best play is to bet. But he is less likely to have an ace here and more likely to have a flush draw. So check to him and allow him to bluff his missed flush draws, then snap them off.
