No pair... pot, make one pair... pot pot

I really wonder what your main goal was betting the river in position. The best that you could hope for is a call from a weaker hand, which seems very unlikely to me.

so you bet the river putting an extra $1100 on the line:

1. he calls you with a weaker hand (very unlikely in my opinion) + $1100
2. he calls with the better hand - $1100
3. he comes over the top with the better hand - $1100
4. he comes over the top wth a weaker hand (you cant call) -$1100

I dont really see the proffit in betting out on the river in position in a hand where you dont really know where you stand. I say check it.

I think you played this hand perfectly btw and i like your hand analysis

Thats quite the mathematical analysis.

Clearly the OP beleives that #1 is the most likely situation, and thats why he thinks its neutral or +EV.

[FlowersByIrene]

this just seems the most logical way to make this decision. However, if strassa is so sure that he is in front and will be called much more often by a weak hand, of course this is the best move. I just don't see, given the way this hand was played, how he can be so sure.

Good to know folding the winner only costs you the river action.
