a crying call on the river

Re: River help. Thanks.
 

I would have checked the river.

Easy call. Whilst you're going to lose this often, the pot is big enough for it still to be profitable.

Fold.

Pot's medium, not huge, flop is scary, and the river is scary.

Someone calling down with the ace of diamonds just hit it. This really looks like someone with the ace of diamonds.

Re: River help. Thanks.
 

11.5:1 on the river (less rake, so 11:1?), he didn't bet the river, he checkraised it... I figure you're probably losing... probably in this case meaning more than 11/12 times.

I could be wrong, but for me this is a fold.

In RP's defense. He should have checked the river, but I would have bet it in the heat of the moment. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Edit: Reason to check the river: it's likely that the guy is on a four flush, which won't pay you off, but if he's got the ace he'll raise or call and win. There isn't positive expectation on this particular bet (though there was on the flop raise and turn bets).

Yep. Inducing bluffs is the [censored].

Re: River help. Thanks.
 

Those odds are good enough for me personally, but then I always put someone on at least a 10% chance of bluffing. Specifically in this situation he could be playing a pocket pair lower than jacks with a diamond, and playing crazy to try and get the hero to fold.

I definately wouldn't raise though [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
