noun
1. Clarkmeister (Carpal \'Tunnel)
2. The Human Chip Rack
verb
1. to bet river for value w/ 4 cards of one suit on the board

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to clark it here or in general. Any opinions? Also, can we now use clark as a verb?

Opponent was unknown. He just sat down w/in the current orbit.

I don't bet here. Clark applies to being OOP -- first to act. After opponent has checked, I'm checking behind in this spot.

Can we just not use "clark" as a verb. Everybody likes and uses "Clarkmeister Theorem" just fine but saying "should I clark" or "is clarking OK" sounds really bad.

By the way, the CLarkmeister Theorem only applies when you are out of position. I would just check-through here.

As i'm sure has been mentioned, you need to be OOP to Clarkmeister.

I like a river check, as there aren't many low diamonds left, there aren't a lot of hands you beat, and a lot of them are folding the river.

But, i'm weak and could be convinced otherwise.

Always bet when all are met:
1. The pot is heads up
2. You are out of position
3. The 4th flush card comes on the river
