Default Re: Check Call?

I think check/calling the river is pretty bad.

BB's river calling range is a lot wider than his betting range, or so I'd imagine against a standard opponent. He's going to check behind all two-pair, sets and worse FD hands that he would probably call a small bet with, like 1/2 pot. He will obviously bet the nut flush and most of the other flush hands that you beat.

He might turn some hands with showdown value into a bluff, but I don't think that happens too often.

The more passive he his the more willing you should be to bet/fold.

The more aggressive he is the more willing you should be to check/call. He's gotta be really aggro for this to be correct IMO.
