NL100 - River decision
 

I'm on a computer without PT. No reads except he's a little loose preflop (I'd guess around 35ish vpip). Villain almost timed out on the turn decision. I'm not a big fan of the river card.

River: ($81.50) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero isn't sure what to do so he checks not because it's the right thing to do but because he's a wuss and he'll have to copy paste this one so he can post it and learn more better pokers from the crew.

Final Pot: $81.50

bet 1/2 pot. River card doesn't seem that scary given the flop call

Re: NL100 - River decision
 

i think checking here is fine. Not so much that villain often has you beat, rather that alot of missed draws and TP hands wont call you. IMO its not worth the risk.

b/f 1/3 pot... although does that induce alot of bluffs?

Re: NL100 - River decision
 

I would just check behind, i doubt he has an eight but he isnt going to call much now.

This was the exact thoughts as another other option as I played the hand.

Any other thoughts on this one? I trying to work on not leaving money on the table.

Re: NL100 - River decision
 

I don't want to induce a bluff because I don't want to call when I'm behind I don't think. I'm not good enough to make those reads so I'm not going to actively try to put myself in that situation. I bet 1/2 pot for what it's worth, no way you have an eight so good pairs and two pairs call.
