Dunno why, but I have a tendency to check rivers
My NL makes me check rivers oop with marginal hands to protect myself/extract, since my whole stack is at stake.
But in limit is a leak right ?

Re: Dunno why, but I have a tendency to check rivers
this is an easy value bet. I'm sure you have noticed by now just how lightly you are being called down. you are ahead almost all of the time here.
it is a pretty significant leak if you are always checking these. |

This is a huge leak. Stop checking these rivers or you will not be able to beat this game.

So bet river and call a raise, right ?

Re: Dunno why, but I have a tendency to check rivers
The only reason this river would be scary is if there were two [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the flop - that the second one came on the turn makes his flop call with random ss hands pretty unlikely.
Very few 1/2 players are aggro enough for checking to induce to have value. |
