Tough River Spot - AK Heads Up

[muzzington]

You overbet the river didn't you and he called with AK.

I edited out the result from my above post. What range do people put him on?

[Garth Kay]

Why are you calling/shoving the river here?

Firstly:

If the river is checked and you bet - what hands call you? Almost all of the calling range has AK beat in these circumstances, based on previous street's actions.

Secondly:

A bet that size on the river after the previous streets' bet sizing indicates a made hand at these levels. When a player changes their betsizing in relation to the pot so dramatically it generally indicates something has changed with the hand strength of villain; it either means made hand (which is the case in most micro stakes tourneys) or scare card has landed or "I HAVE AIR but hoping this big bet will scare off your calling range thus far!"

As Trishan should have realised from his OVERBET POT thread.

True, but the river was not checked to NPLking in this case.

Don't you think he does this with ALOT of hands, many which we beat. Plenty of jacks, queens etc?

Should we be folding to fight another day with 5BB's?
