Re: PS16- Terrible river card.
[ QUOTE ]
you bet the river to control the size of the pot. since you bet the turn he only raises hands that beat you here.
[/ QUOTE ]
Betting the river only gets you value in ONE way: if he has a hand he'd call with but wouldnt bet himself.
It loses value:
when he would have bluffed
when you are raised
You make more when he attempts a bluff that you pick off than when you bet and he calls with somethin he wouldnt bet. Factor that in with the fact that you have to fold at a -300 or -400 loss from your river bet when he raises and you have an easy check/call or check/fold. In this instance, i like check/call.
