You aren't. Why are you not betting that flop?

The real question is: Why would I call this river?

Seriously the only thing you beat here is a complete bluff, and while it's possible, you really wanna risk it with an 8/7? And this sure as hell doesn't seem like a bluff to me, unless villain is a complete maniac.

I don't understand why you're not betting that flop?

As played fold.

If you bet the flop you'd gain crucial information about his hand...

and information I guess but mainly value and avoiding being easily readable ducy`?

Why are you not betting the flop?

As played, with no reads, I don't think there's any reason to call this unless you like to spew money to satisfy your curiousity or have some sixth sense

I'm not betting the flop because there are virtually no hands that call that I beat, and I might get played back at light on a flop like this in a blind war.
