Missed Opportunity

The Hand

What’s the key inflection point for this runout, and what could Hero have done differently?

Flop maybe cbet but with the gutshot + ace high + flush draw idk if thats good to bluffing maybe we just have too equity. River idk if i love the lead, i think he would dont check a lot in this river. Youre way stronger than me but thats my opinion

That’s about the worst possible flop for the PFR, so it’s best to just simplify to range check on that board.

I don’t think you’re getting anyone off a chop on the river unless you go huge, which seems like a mistake because they can still have 78 and boats. The small size might get called by most pairs though - but they’re never betting themselves - so I think that’s the best play. All the 2 pair hands are counterfeit, so there aren’t many worse hands that will call a large bet, likely only A4, and there aren’t many combos of that left.

In a vacuum I think I played this fine.

Player specific, I put LZ on a straight when he leads the turn, and I think as played I have more boats on the river than he does.

So feeling pretty confident that we’re chopping, I would have liked to find a huge bet on the river here :wink:
