400nl full ring. Villain in the hand has just sat down and posted his blind UTG +1. 2 other people at the table have posted blinds also, having just joined. villain has $310. i cover.

I'm dealt [Qh] UTG and open to $20. normally I'd do 16, but with all the posts i figure i'll toss an extra BB on there. I get called in 3 spots, and they all have position on me.

$83 pot. 4-handed. flop comes [5d][4h]. I bet $64, and only the villain calls.
$210 pot. HU. turns the . villain has $220ish left.


Hero ??

Naw, he's an unknown who bought in short and posted UTG+1, I'm not dropping AA/KK from his range. I've seen them played this way before at $400 tables, full ring, trapping vs an UTG raise ... or whatever is going through their heads.

Of course most folks don't play them like that most of the time, so discount the chances of him having them quite a bit, but don't take it out entirely.

Anyway, Mr. X., as played to this point, what's your play?

I'd prolly check/evaluate-leaning towards fold.

Well, I checked, and he checked behind me.

The river bought a blank, don't remember what offhand, but nothing that would have completed any sort of draw.

At this point, are you more inclined to value bet, or check and let him bet?

check/call a bricked river
