PS16- Terrible river card.

Im advocating puting out a blocker bet here that keeps him from running a huge bluff for a large amount of chips that we cannot call. I think the blocker bet saves us a tough decision should he get ballsy, and saves us money on the check/call.

Blocker bet could work, but it also might end up costing us the much needed ~300 chips (1/4 our stack.) OP can decide the chance of success with such a bet and how comfortable he is playing with 800-900 chips here should it fail. PERSONALLY, i prefer to check/call, giving myself a chance to get a playable stack and i think he checks behind you often enough based on marginal hands he wouldnt call much on the river with and a missed draw.

Also, big river bet doesnt even have to be a bluff or monster. Could often enough be a lower two pair.
