Value betting river - How much can I extract here?

silentbob

I've been at the table for the best part of an hour & other than myself there's been very little pre flop raising going on. Most ace high type hands were being limped from anywhere.

My reason for limping here (rightly or wrongly) is purely trying to mix up my game a little bit. I'd been raising a lot from late position with the occasional limp & I thought I'd see a flop here purely for flush draws. Most raises I put in were getting called by anyone who was remotely interested in seeing a flop.

As it was I got an even better flop than I hoped for. I posted a few hands yesterday & got some advice on one of them about not folding out worse hands which is why I've just flatted the flop & turn.

Now when player X checks the river I think I'm up against 1 of 3 types of hand. Either a "worse" ace than me (granted, mine isn't great but I think you all know what I mean!), any 6x hand or a missed flush (player X had been seen betting into draws previously).

I've got to bet something here but what would be the optimum amount to get paid? Also, fwiw should I have raised the turn too (again, if so by how much?)

Raise flop, AP i'd pot that ****, cause i dont think he can fold any Ace now

you need to reraise flop, 8p into 32 just is not gonna build a pot big enough on the river to shove.

id then bet trun around 60-70% and jam river.nothing facey just a simple bet bet bet

'mixing it up' isnt a valid reason for making a vastly inferior play.

raise flop / turn bet,  bet big on river

I might not raise flop but I definitely raise turn. If you say villain is capable of betting draws then you should definitely raise before the river, else you aren't going to get anything out of him.
