Default Re: High Card Only Showdown

[ QUOTE ]

Honestly, I very rarely bet the river with just a high card. If I see a showdown without a pair it's usually because the river checks through or I check/call an opponent who's holding a busted draw. Or because I've taken the lead throughout the hand with a busted draw of my own, and figure the only way I can win is to bet.

i follows this advice as well. Occasionally I will bet the river with A high. This occurs when I've read my opponent's hand well and the board specifically makes it likely that my opponent probably only has high cards as well...and I always have AK or AQ in these situations.
