I probably would have checked 6th & bet the river.

[cgrohman]

Bet the river.

[roggles]

Betting the river might have some marginal value, but I REALLY don't want to bet/fold the river here in a game I am going to play again

[cgrohman]

Who said anything about folding?

[Hamlet]

I like it.

I am not going to do the calculation, but I feel pretty sure bet/call is a losing play here assuming he calls with twopair and raises with flush, straight and trip J

I am re-raising villain's obvious free-card play on Fourth. The rest I play the same.

Who's making a free-card play? Smells to me like a value raise.

[lstream]

Regarding the river bet question, the decision for me depends on who I am playing. If I believe that villain is solid and capable of folding jacks up, then I will check behind as played. If he is weak, then I bet the river every time and expect to be called with jacks up. I would also consider what he thinks of me, and how I would react to the free showdown offer. If I think he thinks that there is a good chance I will not take the check raise bait, then I bet then too. The logic being that he wants to assure himself of at least 1 more BB if he actually caught, and he really wants to avoid coming away with nothing at all if the flush or trips hit.

I know, I am over complicating this likely.
