Message: [QUOTE="gustav197poker, post: 6571716, member: 393841"] In general villains will tend to bet for value on the river. Here the interesting thing for me is the size that V chooses, an overbet. From my point of view, when a villain does this in this situation it's either because he's looking to get as much value as possible, or because he expects you and the SB to fold his hands. The latter because he does not perceive them (at least you) with strong ranges. In particular you, don't represent top draws, you don't have too many TXs, etc. If V expects to get maximum value with an overbet, there aren't enough hands in their ranges that will pay him. In fact if V thinks he can get value out of pocket pairs, which for instance he thinks you defended preflop, he should choose a smaller size. That is the reason to think that V could try this line with a bluff. However, this reasoning is weakened when we see that the BTN, was the opener of the hand, called a 3-bet from SB and obtained position postflop. Because on the river, it's obvious that one of the callers has value. And the texture of the board show that now many lows pairs lose in the showdown. So the best move for V is to take advantage of his position, not risk it, and play x/x on the river, since he will get no additional value. And if he really has Qxs, should try with smaller sizes instead of overbets. The only reason a bit crazy I can see for V to try this line is to kick you out and split the pot with the SB. But if V did it with a naked semi bluff, then he takes note of said player and classifies that he is very risky and tends to make incredibly crazy bets. Greetings. [/QUOTE]
