Hero ???

Why does it say "Hero wins the pot ($22309.00) with a pair of Aces"? I don't see any aces.

So what, pots like 30k and u have 10k to call?

Hand 1 shows that villain has bluffs that accomplishes nothing in his arsenal when there's lot of money committed in the pot.

If I'm betting this river, I will not be folding. I prefer to check the river, assuming he's betting Q for value anyway and bluffing his missed draws and hands that can't beat a nine.

Its pretty hard to put him on anything but Q9, T9ss, and 99. Seems like villain could easily be the type to turn a 2 or 3 into a bluff and there are a lot of missed draw possibilities. I think you gotta call here.

maybe a mistake with the translation of hh in holdem, i won with pair of queens obv.

i hate calling here immediately after he runs a retarded bluff cause it just seems so unlikely he has a hand that i doubt he would pull something retarded here.

but i think its one of those spots where combinatorically he just has so few combos you HAVE to call even though metagame wise it seems he shouldnt be bluffing here because he expects you to both have a reasonably strong range and to pick off his bluffs

Who is this? would help to make a better read but if u don't wanna say it's fine, in a vaccum i'd also check river a fair ammount of the time to induce, many people these days are double floating enough with draws, even weak ones and he has to fire them on the river, plus you don't rep many bluffs as he isn't too likely to continue with too weak made hands on the turn like small PPs or A3.

I have no idea, my reads are the stats I have so far and the hand I've played with him so far, we're 15 hands in and first time I've played him HU.

He was the reason the able was running 6 handed earlier before everyone quit, in the 6max he pretty much never folded any pair and made lots possible moves that worked a lot since he didn't go to showdown much.

earlier I played a hand vs him, he raised 300 UTG+1, I 3bet AK in CO, he calls. Flop Q87r he check called about 3/5 pot sized bet, checked down to river, 2x turn, 9x river and he had 95s.
