it doesn't seem like he folds a better hand on the river nearly often enough. can someone explain?

sorry to call you out hock but the only reason i was looking through your hands is because i know you crush it and i'm trying to learn.

Grumpy much lately victor?

Grumpy or not, he ain't too far off.

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.

If that's really the case it sounds like high stakes lhe games should be easy for anyone to crush....

Well, he didn't say everyone was an overaggro maniacal donkbox, just a great deal of em', and I wholeheartedly agree. It's a variance rollercoaster that few can handle that's for sure.

This is clearly a bluff, but I dont know how effective its going to be. It looks to me like this 3-street bluff is doomed to fail too many times to be +EV.
