ure line is good so far.

I just check behind b/c there's no way he's calling with a worse hand here.

Stacks please.

check behind. Then laugh at how much value he lost if he has 2 hearts or 57.

Ooooh this is rough. I've only had one hand where my opponent knew I was going to bet the river and he had a monster; he C/R me AI. This really depends on if you think villain will call down these big bets with a draw.

I like to play it safe here and sometimes just check but you could be missing a lot of value. That's what I might do, but it's not necessarily the right thing. I understand that I might play more conservatively than others do.

This is my thought and he showed 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] so he would have just folded it in this situation.

But i have other question as well, i roughly had 10$ behind.. if he pushed this river, can i call? or is that really read dependend? And how is your play if you dont have a read at all?

If he pushes the river you are getting 4:1 to call. I don't think I can fold that without an amazing read.
