Don't bluff shove the river...

0

It was one of those "what could he check behind on the flop that he can now shove for value?" moments:

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (8 handed) - Full-Tilt Hand Converter from HandHistoryConverter.com

UTG ($667.35)
UTG+1 ($240)
MP1 ($248.40)
MP2 ($200)
CO ($65)
Button ($203)
SB ($455)
Hero (BB) ($215.55)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 10, A
2 folds, MP1 bets $7, 4 folds, Hero calls $5

Flop: ($15) 10, 9, 5(2 players)
Hero checks, MP1 checks

Turn: ($15) 2(2 players)
Hero bets $10, MP1 raises to $32, Hero calls $22

River: ($79) 8(2 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets $209.40 (All-In), Hero [tanks for ages and then] calls $176.55 (All-In)

Total pot: $432.10 | Rake: $3

Results:
Hero had 10, A (one pair, tens).
MP1 had A, Q (high card, Ace).
Outcome: Hero won $429.10

But remember to value shove the river instead...
