Default Re: value betting rivers

I struggle with this concept as well.

I think the turn is your opportunity to put villain to the test. We hit our target SPR, but only have mp/tk on a draw heavy board. Are we committed? Not yet. I like the flop bet as it looks like we are c-betting with position. The turn brings our commitment card. Any respectable bet puts more than 1/3 of our chips in the pot, so it is time to make a decision. Passive play would be to check behind and let him draw at a cheap flush/straight/J. I push with a ton of fold equity.
