I give up and check. If he c/c the flop and then c/c THIS turn, I don't see you getting many folds on this river.

I think a bet has merit since he could easily have the flush draw or a weak made hand that will be convinced of your strength by a river bet. If you get called here and showdown air that isn't exactly bad either.

I think in this spot when I've decided to fire a second barrel I've also decided to fire on a blank river. Obviously there are times you need to wimp out, but this doesn't need to be one of them.


I also don't play this level so my advice might not be applicable.

i agree but lets say villan doesnt have a flush. its a very interesting metagame situation. what are the odds of getting a fold possibly?

this situation pretty much blows on the surface and i rarely make these plays unless there is motivation on my part.........but when i disclose the villan's holding's, there will be more understanding of why i posted this hand in the first place.

its an interesting hand in my opinion. something of value for all.
