Re: debate
 

just to clarify: i did not play the hand, i was sweating...

imo no better hands fold, no worse hands bet

imo we are putting in one bet on the river, and i think its more likely villain has a hand he will payoff with than bluff with..

joker, the argument isn't for a stop and go... the argument is that the river card is ideal for the b/f given our line and potential hands villain can have... i.e. if the river is the 2c i think c/c is better than b/f because that card wont freeze worse hands from betting and doesnt prevent marginally better hands from raising

Why the stop 'n' go? If we're leading the river, why aren't we 3-betting the turn? If we're calling the turn raise, why come to life on a horrible river card?

We don't 3-bet the turn because it would suck to get 4-bet with so many outs.

We come to life on a horrible river card, because it's near impossible for villain to raise us with anything but the top straight.

So we get in 3BB with our set, which is very nice.
