PS16- Terrible river card.

Checking this river is bad. Bet/fold the river.

Why is checking bad?
You bet, he raises, now what? How much to bet, 300 again minimum i assume, leaving you 800 behind on a fold.

You bet, he folds. Youve gained nothing.

You check, you induce a bluff when he missed or even a value bet from a likely worse two pair.

You check, he bets and has a hand that beats yours- depending on bet size, you may have lost slightly more or the same as if youd bet and he raised.

I dont like a bet into on the river, i think hero is likely ahead here and villian has worse two pair or missed flush often enough to make call profitable.
