Default Re: call this bluff?

[ QUOTE ]
ok so lets me more specific everyone. consensus is that if i plsy turn like i did, calling the river is +EV?


(which is why i posted, i was really itching to call)

this is a seperate question from whether my turn play sucked or not.

It depends on how you read your opponent on the turn. If you really do believe that his range is primarily bluffs/draws then you have to expect that he's going to be aggressive enough to fire another barrel on the river, and calling there would be clearly +EV.

On the other hand; in spots like this, I tend to play conservatively. His line is somewhat odd, but I'm going to give him credit for a real hand here until I have a more solid reason not to. So I would not read his turn range as primarily bluffs/draws, in which case calling the river would be clearly -EV, as would the turn.

Really you just have to go with your reads, or there's no point in having them in the first place.
