Message: [QUOTE="Endwarfin, post: 6278509, member: 482103"] Its also worth noting that Villain never decided to check raise you. You say you've played about 200 hands with him, his check/call check/call check/call line here after flopping a set, combined with his fold to c-bet should scream one of 2 things. 1) He is an extremely tight passive player, and you should put him on strong value when he calls 2) He thinks you over bet your hands. Flop and turn are fine, I think my biggest question is the river jam on your part. For one reason or another villain thinks he can trap you without ever being aggressive, and called the overbet when the flush came in. The good thing about your jam here is that it looks like a bluff or a flush, the bad thing about your jam is you effectively are turning a made hand into a bluff. Essentially what you are doing is merging your value range on the river, and this leads to higher variance poker. You are only going to get called by people bluff catching or who have a flush. This is why merging sets into our bluffs can work well, but it can also lead to disaster. And the biggest reason why - I don't need to worry about my calling odds to draw, if you are going to put all the chips in anyways when I get there. All AdXd have ~50% equity on the flop The 4 of clubs barely helps your equity against AX of diamonds but it completes straights, adds a club draw, and improves alot of AX to a gutshot at worst. When the 10 of diamonds gets their on the river, sets are near the bottom of a 1.5x river jam for value. Honestly im surprised villain called the river bet. What I think happened here, is villain knows you overbet rivers, your bet is soooooo much more often a bluff here then a bet for value, but the cool thing is, you bluffed with better than his bluff catcher.
