View Full Version : Riverbets with the Nuts


10-23-2005, 12:16 AM
I find my self in situations like this where I make the nuts on the river... and I don't like to make a weak bet at it because I have the idea it's a tell and I figure I can maximize my earnings. Of course, the times you do get called are pretty slim... so I'm curious for feedback.

I think the PFR is good. I've been mixing up my play a lot lately, between LAG, TAG, just Tight and Almost maniacal... admittedly perhaps due to some tilt.

And of course, I also feel the flop raise is a good play, and so is the turn check.

But what about the river?

Nice hand. Maybe $4 on the river? I personally like full-pot, but thats just me.

Just out of curiosity, what's your thinking that makes you like the full pot bet?

Well played on all streets.

If they are going to call $4, they are probably going to call $6.

Raise more preflop with the limpers in there. Flop and Turn are perfect. Hard to throw pot out there on the river with the turn check. Something between $4-$5 seems better to me, although I am trying to improve in this exact area myself. $4.80 maybe? Looks fishy to me.
