Re: Thin river value HU ($1/1)
 

i like a small bet. whatever you think he'll pay off with kings up. i highly doubt a player as you described shows up with a9+ here. and lol at the over bet of the pot on the turn. niceee

Re: Thin river value HU ($1/1)
 

I gave up HU after losing at a rate of ~11BB/100...So my advice sucks I'm sure. I think it is played well on all streets. I see little/no value in betting this river. I don't think he calls with a worse hand here more than 10% of the time.

This is absolutely a check behind.

I think if you bet you should call a raise, but that you shouldn't bet.

Re: Thin river value HU ($1/1)
 

Results: I checked back and he turned over KQJ2 no spades, and he would almost certainly have called a pot-sized bet.

Re: Thin river value HU ($1/1)
 

I'd check.

Re: Thin river value HU ($1/1)
 

I have read results but I would def bet. There are a few reasons to bet. 1. you get value from hands exactly like the one that he had. Which occur more frequently than people can believe,(given how they reached that spot). 2. If he folds, you pick up momentum; like in chess this is good. 3. If he does call you and you lose, it shows that you are capable of betting lightly in certain circumstances. I think this can only improve your results if you continue to play against him, as his view of your range will be like black rob.

Too bad you didn't what he had. Would've been easy pot-sized bet on the river if he would have flipped his hand over right?

Are you claiming that I'm being results-oriented? I guess you are, and you couldn't be more wrong. Thinking about this hand a little more, my opinion is that a half-pot bet on the river is fine, as others have stated as long as I'm willing to call a checkraise.
