What is your purpose for betting the river?

[/ QUOTE ]

To get worse hands to call.

I think it's pretty thin, but it's really up to your table feel, the ebb and flow of the table, i guess. I definetely don't hate it.

Edit: I would much rather reraise PF, however, but that is coupled with re-raising w/ a multitude of hands PF.

I like the float and the river bet. Preflop of course you can re-raise and slap this guy down, but you've probably done enough of that. If he can't call here then he needs to find another table. Pwn.

I don't see the point of the river bet, especially given your image and your opponent's.

What makes everyone think that hero is beat or if he isn't villian won't call. Of course bet you do not want him to know you're floating him and you want his frustration to build that he thinks you're stealing pots (so you can stack him).

The bet on river is fine. I think raise is a much better option then a call on the flopp.

Pre-flop is questionable and float is questionable since you didnt even have something like backdoor flush or gutshot with your overs.

River looks way to thin for my liking even with a slightly loose/agro image. Does AT even call that?

durr, you dont want to make a thin vb w/ top pair, but you want to be in this spot pf?

if you call pf with kjo, do you believe hands like 87o, A4o, J2s, and/or QTo show profit otb vs a raise? I feel none of them do, unless your opponent is INCREDIBLY bad, or they are so weak/tight that a reraise w/ atc shows more profit. reason i say this is I feel you believe a call here is better then a fold given you can use position to outplay a potential stealer, in which case your actual hand (Kj doesnt have much value anyway, but does more so then say J3o or k5o) doesnt matter...

also, on the river here, this is a v thin bet, but there is value, ESPECIALLY if you're floating a million and one hands ...

edit: I would not reraise w/ this hand, but there are many situations where a reraise is clearly the best play (pf) but in many occaisons I believe call > reraise. but fold is better then both.

if you have KJs, your argument makes a lot more sense.
