Am I missing something?

...why don't you want to get it all in?

Re: River nightmare
 

the only reason i'm checking this river is to RAISE.

Re: River nightmare
 

If you're not checking the river to induce this kind of action what are you checking the river for?

I'd also bet more on the flop.

Re: River nightmare
 

wtf wtf wtf

get it in

Ahead of so many 2-pair here.
AK usually re-raises preflop and 98 shouldn't call flop.

I open-shove river for value.

Re: River nightmare
 

When villan bets into you on the river it is a very good thing. There is no possible hand that he could have where the 5d improves his hand to be better than yours - so this is not a river nightmare. Raise.

Re: River nightmare
 

the only nightmare is that the 5 peeling off frightened you

Re: River nightmare
 

that 5 scared you how? christ get the money in.

Re: River nightmare
 

Is the river a nightmare because you put him exactly on a straight? Just because someone bets doesn't mean they have the nuts. I know big bets are scary, but please push.
