Re: Bottom pair vs. continue bet to river
 

On super dry flops like these I c/r flop. It's obvious no one is drawing so you either have it or you don't. I make my declaration and see how he responds.

The fact that you are calling down on a completely drawless board is a pretty clear indication that you have a weak pair. The overcards keep coming and he keeps betting which could be a 3 barrel as easily as a vb if he puts you on the hand you have. I guess you'd be looking for Ax but I don't know if there are enough combinations to call.

IMO c/r flop &gt; any other option.

If his numbers are somewhat passive post flop then you could probably fold the river.

u could always go for the stox cr flop ck turn line... ck call flop is ok too tho i think, but on the turn/river vs this type its gonna be hard to find a fold and not put in more money behind than when ahead
