Top Pair, bet the river?

[/ QUOTE ]Does the Villain bet this river without a 4 or Q, knowing he has to beat the SB as well as the Hero?

After all that checking in previous hands, some would DEFINATELY bet an 8

Hero doesnt know that villain is going to bet. There is a high chance that heros nice pair is going to get checked-through.
And as said before, there is a very low chance that someone with a lone queen will raise you.
Youre gonna call anyway, arent you? But betting out is better because there are lots of hands you beat that will still call you.

Fair enough.

I'd bet the river.

Ok, I get it :-) Thanks.

After I called his Bet he showed:

AA

Now did anybody put him on THAT?

[fretelöo]

No. Thank him for saving you at least 1,5BB.

i bet the river. Someone with a weaker J or an 8 might call if they are real fish. It was checked to you again, you should bet.

While a couple might fold because they were chasing a gutshot or overcards maybe, you will still get called by hands you beat enough to bet. Bet.
