The old if I check I lose play...so why not bet

[Poker Gestalt]

PF - fold or 3 bet
Flop - as played fold
Turn - as played fold
River - as played betting isn't bad. Your line says "Ima fish who called u twice with spades and now i've hit so I'm going to bet"

Try not to play this way anymore though.


EDIT: didn't realize that preflop was such a big discussion. I think that both raising and folding are fine given table dynamics. Calling is bad though. I think there IS a marginal value in raising here at least some % of the time, but by making it standard i think some of that value is lost. In general though folding is a fine play especially if your not well versed in playing OOP, or in these blind vs. LP situations.
