Value bet on the river?

[JimmyJazz1]

It was the first orbit, so no significant reads. But is this a standard value bet?

BB checks, UTG checks, Hero?

Yes.

looks like the converter botched things up some.

But from the action I pieced together, im going with a "yes"

[JimmyJazz1]

Yea, sorry, Preflop is checks around, I raise, 2 calls. the flop should read check, check, bet, call call. Should I not be worried about UTG with some sort of draw or slow playing a bigger hand?

If you have to ask about a river value bet, the answer is always yes.

[JimmyJazz1]

Could you please explain why. I recently moved over from NL. Thanks.

In NL you would bet that river, maybe half pot or so. Why not bet in limit where you can only get raised to twice your bet?

I was just commenting on the fact that if you think its close, its almost always better to bet. Youd be amazed how often you get paid by bottom pair or ace high or even worse.

It's an extremely easy bet.

Also, just moving over from NL to 6max, maybe not the best idea.

Definitly bet this river.
