bet the river

Why bet the river?

[wrto4556]

The river fold is pretty close. And not closing the action kinda sucks so I tend to agree with folding.

Did you have any reads?

Call the river. I doubt the BB will go for a CR with an Ace, because he can't be sure of the Button betting the river. Wouldn't he just bet an Ace himself? If he's a LAG, he surely would have raised Tx somewhere in this hand, so I'm pretty confident that I'm ahead of him. That leaves the button. Will he take a stab at this river with 7x, 6x, 3x, and busted draws to make a call profitable? I think so. Seems like a pretty easy call. Consider also that most LAGs would be openraising Ax from the button preflop, as well.

No reads besides typical 10/20 LAG.

You think a busted draw bets into two people, especially when I've shown strength? I thought his most likely hand at that point is a T, 7 or Ax/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. I doubt a 7 bets the river.

Button had A2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. BB had J6o, no diamond.
