Default Re: 100-200 Live: Thin River Value Bet?

Not so thin..this is a black and white protect your bluffs value bet. If you'd ever fire off 20k with QJs here then you need to bet the ace. You start checking back top pair in a spot like this and you'll have a tough time firing 2 or 3 barrels in the future against observant opponents. You are likely ahead, and you gain a ton of value if he doesn't call, too, for obvious reasons. Be interested to hear what he had(and who he was for that matter).

Nice post. Could you explain what the obv value of him not calling would be, besides not having to show down your hand.

If your opponent doesnt know you can float a gutter on the bad board..you gain a lot of value in the future. When he folds the river you look disappointed, tap the table and rake the pot.
