Default Re: $100NL Triple barrelled whiffed nfd

Villain could be drawing with either [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]s or JT.

matrix, I've had that same experience of checking the river and losing to a better busted hand, so as played, I genuflect to fim and bet the river too.

But I would check the turn, and maybe even the flop. As NLHETAP says, tend to semibluff more when your draw is not to the nuts, than when it is. You have a nut draw, and you're being offered free cards on both the flop and turn. And unlikely as it may be, if any overflushing is going down this hand, you're going to be on the happy end of it.

So against the strong possibility that villain may be calling down with a better hand than we have, and the small chance that we have a draw to stackage, I definitely check the turn; and depending on how the table is playing, maybe even the flop.
