And one thing no one has mentioned is does that guy ever check raise the river as a bluff?

---

it's possible b/c her range is somewhat capped (she just happens to have the top of that range) b/c of her line

the real question is what value he left out there, but there wasn't that much leeway (his raise was 3x her bet and that put her all in)

Some people are great readers. Some people have horrible tells. Some players show up specifically to lose.

maybe at the local $100 tourney. not in an EPT$25k buyin that close to the bubble

but I have seen a few (very smart) players make a nice quiet (and tidy) living with it.

in local, small buyin tourneys?

And, yes. There are stone cold losers at every table. And Doyle Brunson says there are more at the high-roller tables than anywhere else.

but his value is all over the place. a flush is value there

if she wasn't the BU, her range wouldn't be as wide but it's super wide. she can have a ton of combos of non-boated Qx

AA blocks AK but she could also have the same line with KJ or KT

(and if we're playing "flush hypo" then he's not blocking AK which takes the same line she did likely)

KK and QQ are highly unlikely given the flop check and turn bet.

so with a flush, you're only worried about a couple combos of AQ or KQ, but KQ runs into the same issue as the KK/QQ combos

so his value, given her line, is all over the place so he could be shoving river with anything > trips. there are tons of straights and flushes on the river

No doubt, but in general, you're getting snap called by them. That said, lady in my game folded top pair to me the other night when I raised her on the flop. Almost fell out of my chair.

Not just Asians. A ton of women will call every raise with dogshit in their hand. Then they'll beat your pathetic bluff with a pair of 5's with a Jack kicker. I always try to identify the calling stations as soon as possible.

So, in your world there is ONLY ONE way to play poker? Right?

if "only one way" means making +EV decisions, then yes

which?

Either. But especially the combo.
