Default Re: DISCUSS... vbet tha river...???

I think this is a rare case where a blocking bet is best -- 15-18 and fold to a push. We've got enough behind to fold to a push, and he's not often going to be pushing worse hands often. Check-calling sucks, because he's going to be taking us to value town so often or bluff us off the best hand.

Sometimes we're going to be bluffed and it'll cost us more if we block bet and fold than if we check and fold to a push -- but I think we get thin value more often.

Bet 18 and fold to a push? He only has 74$ to start with so we're not playing for OUR stack we're essentially playing for his stack which is only 74$

He has what ~50 behind on the river? So he'll be raising you 32 (after our 18 blocker) into an 84 pot...

Having ~33% equity. Soooo.... I think a blocking bet here commits us...and if we're commited we may as well push no?

I'm probly wrong on this but that's ok.
