Woodie Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Posting this up cause it's one of those hands that makes me think could I be getting more money here on river? should I be shoving the the river? He's calling all the way what makes me think flush draw/set, the only reason I checked cause I thought he could be trapping all along with a set.

happyhornet Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Re: Small stakes cash hand I don't think the check was a bad play at all:unsure. Had you bet, he wasn't going to call (knowing what he had), and if he was trapping then you escaped without further damage. More importantly, you now have a good image to be paid off if you did get a monster hand.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nade Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Re: Small stakes cash hand I think that play is fine too. There's some thin value in betting the river in hope they'll call with like 99 or AT. There's an argument for betting the river to balance your range against a missed flush. i.e. you're opponent thinks it's possible you're bluffing the river as you think your opponent has missed their flush so will call down real light (thats the thin value) so you bet with thin value, bluffs and big hands. Main reasons for checking is you get a free showdown, you get a lot of info from that and there's generally not much they'll call a solid river bet with depending on your image imo.

seanfaz Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Re: Small stakes cash hand I think i'm value betting that most of the time.....depending on history and image etc. There's not many low stakes players who are checking that river there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
