Going For A Check Raise

[banditdad]

UTG is loose and has bet out on the river a number of times to try and buy the pot. I tried for a check raise and he just checked. Should I have just bet it out or was it worth taking the chance on a c/r?

SHould really be in Micro.

I value bet the river, we have led the agression all the way (and with the flop three bet) I cant see him taking a shot at this one.

Might be worth it if you think he was drawing and missed and is going to fold anyway but I dont see that here.

When the blank hits the river, I don't think I'd have tried a C/R. If you lead out and he calls you gain 1 BB, raises you can re-raise for 3 BB's. C/R gets you 0 (like this hand) or 2 BB's.
