Re: \"If you call the turn you have to call river\" theory Q
[ QUOTE ]
I think BobboFitos said somewhere that if he calls turn with a made hand he'll (nearly) always call river if all the draws miss. But he plays high stakes.

I think this should be apparent. By the turn betting yuo should knwo what range you are facing (when you have a made hand) and where you stand in relation to it. If you are thinking while playing, you should have a guess what the river action might reasonably look like. If your made hand looks good against opponents range and action then you call turn with every intention of calling the river. This breaks down at two points, when the river ebt is unexpectedly large, and when draws come home. When draws come home your position relative to their range can change drastically, and when the bet is unusually large, or unexpectedly size, you can use this new information to revise your opinion of their range.
All in all, this is pretty much self-evident if you think it through.
