Re: Set facing river checkraise
Well, I guess I'm a donkey based on the replies in this thread. (Well actually, I knew that before I read this thread.)
If I decide to bet my set on the river after villain checks on that board, then I'm going with it and I'm not folding. So as played I call.
If my read is that I can't call that check-raise shove, then yes, I'm just checking behind on the river. Yes, I'm losing value to that range of hands worse than mine but which are willing to call a river bet, but is that value really worth the risk of having to fold after a bet?
I've been in this spot a lot: I have a set on a scary board and just check behind. Villain usually flips over a hand that can't call a significant value river bet anyway, or he has a monster.
