Default Re: Observer Q about Papawarbucks hand 200/400

It was definitely a valuebet.

already knew that, but why did you think betting had more value than inducing.

because it looked like he had exactly KQ/KJ type hands?

I'm not inducing versus any hand she has that made it to the river. Any crappy flush draws by her would've always got raised on the flop or turn, and likewise the straight draws would've too. Her preflop/flop/turn actions allow me to pretty easily narrow her hand range to almost exactly K high or ace high or pair of fours, and her K high will check the river because it will look like to her that I am either checking to induce (as you suggest I do), or that I have Q or J high and am giving up (and therefore folding). If she could have more hands on the river that are capable of being worse than mine and betting, inducing has more of an argument. Specifically against her though, I think it's a pretty big mistake to check the river unless you're doing so with the intent of folding (but I don't like folding).
