Default Re: a Question for the Expert (Ed Miller)

"You cannot count the bet you put in on the river when deciding what odd the pot is laying you."

Effectively you can and I think you have to because there is a final betting round in which your opponent will almost always bet.

"On the river, the bet you put in is because you think you have the best hand and is a value bet."

You aren't value betting anything unless your opponent checks to you. You have just been checkraised on the turn and on the river you will probably be just calling as well because your opponent will be betting the river almost all of the time.

calling twice = 2 BB


Like I said before you are not drawing to a made hand, the hand you are drawing to may not even be good if it hits. You aren't drawing to 4 outs where if you hit the out you have the nuts are near nuts. The hand you are drawing to may not even be good if it hits.
