razz: river check raise?

[CarlosChadha]

Given the action, I figured that my opponent might have made a 6 low on 6th but been afraid to raise into my 3 wheel cards. Seems like I should CR 7th with my wheel?

Or maybe he's paired up or sucks at poker or something. I'd bet and hope he raises.

[WhiteWolf]

Huge pot, he's calling with a lot of hands that he would be ecstatic to take a free showdown with. A lead bet will get much more value from those hands than you will by getting 2 bets from an unlikely 6 (and remember, some percentage of the time he'll raise your lead bet with his 6, and you'll collect 3 bets instead of 2).

Bless seat 6

[DJ Sensei]

given the strength you've shown so far, i think he's taking a free showdown with most everything you beat, and betting all of the hands you dont, and a few that you do. so i'd just valuebet again, and call a raise. also, i think he's never bluffing here.


to put it in primitive graph form, where the nuts are the left and quads on the right (not to scale of course):

|------X----------------------------------|
|bbbbbbbbbbccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc|

the bottom one is his range, he bets 'b' and checks 'c'. but he calls pretty much everything.

This is a terrible spot for a river c/r IMO.
