Hero?
This hand has been played by one of our friends. Let’s see how he played until the river. Pre-flop is no question, definitely a clear bet. The bets on the flop and turn serve protection and thin value.
The real question is: What to do with this river card?
This is one of the worst river cards we could imagine. It makes flush draws complete, also some gutshot straight draws, and is also perfect for some marginal calling hands, like 87 or 86 in our opponent’s range. So, it can be said that you usually get outdrawn with this river card.
In other cases, your opponent already had you before the river, as an 88, 99 and somtimes TT would have been played the same way as well. It is important to note, that sometimes, your opponent will slowplay a big hand, like a set or a boat. So, we recommend that you check/fold this river. If your opponent bets, most of his range will unfortunately beat your hand.
