I was going to say you can't win if you don't bet, but I obviously don't know what I'm talking about. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Seriously, though, you should win this more than one out of five times with a river bet.

Wow, great play. A true battle of wits.

You know that you have to bet to win, but you know he knows this. If you bet, he sniffs out your bluff and calls it down. You lose. The only way you have a hand is if you check, trying to induce a bluff. But you know he knows this. And you know this guy. You know him well. He'll take it to the next level, showing you that you never had a chance to induce a bluff because you've given your hand away by checking. So he'll fold QQ just to prove it to you. It seems there's no way for you to win. He has you beaten. Until you, anticipating all this, do the impossible and check your five high. You da man.

lol.

you have to bet this river. but, nice hand.

[SomethingClever]

Nothing puts that extra pep in my step like a player open-folding the river heads-up.

Very nice.

[Sundevils21]

the guy had been playing every hand but would always fold the flop. So I thought he might of had a little piece he would call me down with. I think my only two lines are...
1. Bet the turn and bet the river
2. Don't bet the turn and give up unless my straight comes

I think number 1 is clearly the better line, especially against a player who folds a lot.

UTG+1 has 53 suited. On the river, believes it is mathematically impossible to win (neglecting the tie) and folds to avoid the embarassment of having the table know that he plays 53 suited UTG+1.

Honestly, though, in B&amp;M games, HU folds on the river happen to me quite a bit with "Gambloor" players who don't want to show down their awful cards. Must be the shame of having all those players looking at you.

Eric, this is very funny. I also think it laudable that you didn't end the post with "my 2 cents", that had begun to really annoy me.
