Interesting River Decision

[Yerma]

I wasn't really involved in this hand, and I don't agree with what people did up until the river. But, what would you do if you were under the gun with the straight on the river? Do you lead or check-raise?

I lean c/r. You'll get nothing from UTG+2 no matter what you do if he had a flush draw, and he might CC w/ an A, esp. at this limit. Button bets here a whole lot, at least w/o a super passive read.

I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] donks who gheybet when they river the nuts. It saves me a BB.

Of course, that's what I say; in reality I get pissed off because I lost to someone who didn't have the intelligence to check/raise me.

lead. there is no guarantee button will bet the river with what he is likely betting in this situation.
