Re: Theoretical: Making -EV bets on the river

I don't know how you play, but it doesn't many orbits for anyone with a brain to figure out I'm not only raising premium hands.

My regular live full-ring game is one where the players know to play "good cards" and "good draws", they know to fold "bad cards" and "bad draws". My opponents are capable of spotting a maniac, but are otherwise not smart enough to realize that someone with a tight reputation like me (which i've cultivated through basically complaining that i never get dealt a hand, despite raising more than my fair share preflop), who is raising a lot of hands is not just getting a lot of great starting hands.
The short of it is, they, to a man, think i'm a tight player and they keep calling preflop and folding to any big bets from the flop onwards.
Does this change the answer?
