Current pot size is lame and i got a monster. I thought about betting the turn here, but i feared i may get check raised from this player.

Despite previous streets, how do we bet this river?

[Lego05]

Raise pre-flop.


As played I guess I bet $1 and just hope he calls.

Yeah, bet around the pot or a little over - make it look like a bluff. Then fist-pump when he calls.

raise pf, bet river for $1. i also consider betting the turn (though checking is obv fine).

Did the fist pump, helped as well.
