Against a random opponent i bet here. 3 Things can happen if you check, he will also check-behind his pair of 6 or whatever, he bet fold his 6. He will bet his missed flushdraw. You gain most value with a bet ihmo.

This line is best


i would cr if ppl were calling me light to the river and betting a lot whenever I check. Basically, if you have a crappy image.

Well my image is always going to be crappy, but yeah ... at these stakes no need to get fancy.

this is villain dependent.

at these stakes I assume most villains tend to be loose passive, so you will likely get the most value by betting.

vs a more aggressive villain who will bluff his busted draws and value bet light c/r is a viable line.

Seriously, clearest bet of the century. Dont get fancy here. As long as you don't have a strong read that he is a bluffo or/and will bet his weaker made hands for value, dont think about c/r'ing. By saying 'have a strong read', I mean 'have a REALLY [censored] strong read', not just the fact that he is some kind of aggressive.
