Default Re: Float turns top pair

I like this a lot, especially if you don't think he's tricky enough to represent a flush or 2p or something with a big c/r.

In fact, I think I miss out on a lot of value by not betting in this spot often enough. All too often I find myself checking behind here, then getting shown something like QJ, J9, T9, A-QT, 99, or even 98 and thinking to myself "I might have extracted something if I had the balls to bet the river."

Anyway, it seems likely, given the river deuce, that you'll get called and shown one of the above hands. I guess sometimes he calls and has AJ or a smallish flush. I would think AJ or one of the 3 2p hands that make sense would lead the turn, or do something other than check-calling. Overall, the river looks good to me.
