Dumb play. You can accomplish the exact same thing without risking even close to your entire stack. And it's really not worth the risk to try it anyways, especially 4 handed.

So wait, you're saying that you'll only be called by someone that can beat 5 high?

The whole point of the hero betting the river is that he is representing a made flush. How does betting the turn with nothing accomplish this?

Do you mean representing a made straight? If so, he can do that on the turn. If he's representing a made flush, he's going to have a hard time convincing anybody since a flush is not possible with this board.

Dumb play in a multi-way pot.

Especially at lower limits.

[BadMongo]

I think this play might be an option if you're up against 1-2 opponents instead of 4. I really don't like the idea of pushing my whole stack into 4 other players with 5 high. The chance of getting called is just too high.

[KramerTM]

Risking 775 to win 400 certainly is not dumb. Not sure I would have the stones to makes this play. What's more... I'm definitely not trying this move at the 33s or lower (you're DEFINITELY getting called with a high card King at the 11s and lower).

Does anyone else prefer a push on the turn?
