i'm confused or missing something or just plain stupid....what EXACTLY do you have in this hand to bet that river for?

was this play based on a read?

You should at least have some hand...this is just a stone cold bluff.

Also, I'm not too thrilled about playing 57s UTG, nor about semibluffing an OESD into 4 .5/1 opponents.

While this hand isn't a good example of much it is a good reminder that there are times when the only way you can win is by betting.

This is horrible. Just because betting is the only way you can win doesn't mean you should bet.

Sorry, I edited out the part where I made it clearer that I only meant the river bet. I don't think people use that play often enough. Especially against multitabling rocks who are really vulnerable to it.

Re: This was a Clarkmeister, was it?
 

First of all you shouldn't be playing this hand in early or middle positions.
The flop I would have check-called.
Clarkmiesters theorem is when you are HU and first to act and the fourth flush card falls on the river, then you bet. So with that in mind the answer to your question is, yes. This was a Clarkmiester. Did you play it well? No. But that wasn't your question.

Re: This was a Clarkmeister, was it?
 

Easy river bet.

Re: This was a Clarkmeister, was it?
 

This preflop call would get you labeled as a fish.

I don't clerkmesiter without a hand that is or beats TPGK.
