Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6550895, member: 397965"] "Information" is never the main purpose of betting. In this situation you are betting to make worse hands call AKA "betting for value". Maybe but there is quite a bit of difference between a $1.1 PKO and a $5.5 PKO like this. Especially since this is part of a series. You will see a wide variety of players in this tournament all the way up to full time pros, who have 100.000`s of dollars in profit in online MTTs. So without knowing anything about the opponent I would default towards putting him on a rather snug range, when he call from SB. Maybe its capped, because he would 3-bet his best hands, but I definitely need info to assume, his range contain a lot of "crap". A hand type, which is very common to see here, is a small to medium pocket pair trying to setmine out of position. Yeah that sounds pretty reasonable. If he is in there with 5X, then he obviously wont fold that either. You also still lose to 88, 55 and 5X like maybe A5s, 75s, 65s, 54s to mention the most reasonable combos. Just top pair should not be check-raising you here. Of course it will sometimes happen, but a competent player will not do it, since it tends to make all better hands call and most worse hands fold. If I had to guess his hand, then I guess a boat. On the turn he gave you a very good price. This makes a lot of sense with a boat, because he want to keep in your draws, that are drawing dead. On the river though you are obviously not calling with a busted draw, so now he is only targeting overpairs and trips. And he goes as large, as he think, you might call. He made it just under full pot, which is basically the same as a store selling something for $99 rather than $100. [/QUOTE]
