Of course it's a horrible card but if I check, unless villian is a bigger idiot than me, I'll lose virtually 100% of the time. Is it possible for me to take him off his hand? Normally I would check and just give up, but I'm in the middle
of the Sklansky/Miller book, where they discuss playing against weak tight players and how we should be putting them
in difficult spots with pressure betting.

a Q, J, or T on river is a MUCH MUCH better card to do this on

[bruce]

I decided to push on the river and villian timed out and folded. Retrospectively I believe my play was pretty dumb but I guess it's better to be lucky than smart. With the board pairing unless I'm against an absolute moron, this is more than likely a very -EV play.

This is a bad mentality. This is a need to win every pot, which usually just results in spew. Sometimes it's better to lose what you've already invested 100% of the time, then lose a lot more a large percentage of the time.
