If he's 80% sure he has the best hand but no worse hands call a reraise, reraising is bad DUCY?

disclaimer: I realize I'm not at this level...

Question: If Menlo thinks he's ahead, why not just reraise Gus all in on the river instead of just calling? I'm sure there's a good reason, I just don't know it yet....

That is indeed the dumbest thing I have ever read. The obvious, most correct play here is to minraise Gus' bluff to induce the rebluff all-in, which you can safely call with your two pair on a four-to-straight board.

I'm not gonna go into detail about why I made this call cuz I dont really feel like it. But to the guy who is saying this call is "-ev over the long run" I am not concerned with the long run, I am concerned with this hand right now, the only thing that matter is whether or not he has it this time.

This is actually right he just phrased it poorly. It might be -EV to call this river everytime, but due to gameflow, timing tells, etc. in this specific spot it could be +EV.

When you make a decision you factor in everything. In this "specific" situation, the call is either +EV in the longrun or it isn't.

obv he should have put Gus to a decision for all his chips on the river.
Because that my friends, is the key to unlimited hold them.

Which means it's 50/50 anyway and therefore a good call w/pot odds. <font color="white"> lol </font>
