Default Re: TT river check-call

There's more value in a river bet.

What would an opponent call with that we beat? (smaller pocket pair maybe?) What would he fold that beats us? Unless you can bet/fold I don't think I like a bet on the river. For me this is a standard check-to-induce-bluff-and-then-call spot. If he bets I expect to lose a good percentage of the time to a J or an 8 but this costs the same as bet-folding and gets me to a showdown. If I'm ahead I really don't think most opponents are calling a river bet.
