check this river??
 

semi-loose/passive table. playing on my old computer that doesnt support GT+ and was playing 4 tables at the time so i didnt have any real reads on the players. think this river is an obvious check but what do u think?

I think the bet is the correct call. A check raise is possible, but I think it is much more likely that it was the flush/straight draw that is keeping everyone at the table.

Unless you have a good read on someone as a big check raiser, you might as well bet it and fold to a raise.

These guys dont have crap. Bet the river.

Bet it. At this limit you are getting paid off by worse hands very often.

Re: check this river??
 

Why give away 17.5 bets to a raise? I'd say either way be ready to make a call.

I think you should play fewer tables until you either have GT+ or don't need to rely on it for "reads" [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Edit: as for the river, knowing what passive donks .10/.20 folk can be I have a feeling someone's got you beat as much as half the time. Seeing as you're probably getting 2 or 3 calls from your bet it's great value [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
