I don't get it, why does he have to fold a better hand on the river when he is overwhelmingly sure he has the best hand and is going to get called by several worse ones?

Checking the river would not be a good play IMO.

What does 77 have beat here? 22-55? I cant think of anything else..

I apologize in advance if I'm missing something here, but if everyone is over aggro as Victor suggested, wouldn't you c/c here?

fwiw -- I don't think there are any actually GOOD options here, but in hindsight, I agree that check/fold is probably best.

That said, there are arguments for bet/folding or even check/calling (against some opponents) also.

4 sure it looks like BB has a better hand, and wouldnt fold it on this board, but if BB knows Hock is smart he will know that Hock must know that on this board he has a hand he wont fold, so......

You guys are all making this too complicated.

Hand reading:

BB calls on the flop. He could have a pair, he could be floating to see if we check/fold the turn.

BB calls the turn. Well, he didn't raise preflop, he didn't raise the flop, he didn't raise the turn. He probably doesn't have an ace. It's most likely he has a king or an 8.

The river is a jack, putting an A, K, and J all out there. The pot is big enough to make it worth trying to get an 8 to fold, as that'd be a ballsy call for an 8 to make. So, Hock bets it again, one last attempt to get an 8 to fold.

It's a bad play, simple as that. We all make them, I can dig up a few funny plays others who've replied to this thread made, including me above all since I'm the biggest fish around [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
