river bet/call with weak hand

[Hobbs.]

for those that fold what if our hand was KJ? Call or still fold?

for those that call what if our hand was AK? Still call or fold?

Definitely bet the river. This looks enough like a bluff raise that I call it.

a river raise doesnt really represent anything in particular. i think that makes it more likely to be for value.

I would say check/call is much better then bet/fold in this situation.

I think people seriously underestimate the power of the check/call. Inducing bluffs is sweet. I am sure I have made up a decent amount from river bluff bets that I lost by having a worse hand check behind.

The way you played it, the river is a call you get sucked into having to make without a strong read on the guy. That was a draw heavy board on the flop and he might be bluffing you off of your draw (even though he would then be on a draw himself). I think 1 in 9 times you win this hand against this guy. Plus you get a little better read on the guy for future situations.

I would check-call AK and bet-call KJ. The hand in your origional post I bet-mumble-call.
