Bet-fold last-to-act on the River is called for when you don't hate being raised. Here I don't hate being raised because a bluff check-raise and slow-played Ace account for less than 10% of this villain's possible holdings, and I can fold TPTK with very little consternation.

Re: Bet/Fold River?
 

Looks good. Villain's numbers indicate that he's rivered you with some wacky hand. Make sure you keep an eye on what he raises with though.

Re: Bet/Fold River?
 

I'm still a trainee.. I don't understand why we fold this on the river to a raise?

Also... why not a check/call?

If anyone can explain I will greatly appreciate it.

Re: Bet/Fold River?
 

If you can't call a river checkraise, why not take a free showdown?

Re: Bet/Fold River?
 

I wouldn't fold based on these stats. I would fold if this is the first time he has ever check raised, or if he has check raised three times and showed down with 2 pair or better.

Value. We have TPTK and it seems that the other guy likes to call a lot.

I understand that, but you need to be very sure you are beaten to fold in this spot, otherwise you might be doing a terrible mistake. You need very good reads to bet-fold profitably here. Without such reads, I don't bet-fold, I bet-call or check behind.

I consider river bet-folding to be a somewhat dangerous practice.

It's true. There were many times I've been c/r'ed on the river to end up winning. How did you guys determine knowing to fold?

Villain is 60/9/.36 after 75. Do we need a larger sample, or lower aggression? This guy seems really passive. I can't see what he's check-raising that we beat. I don't think he's bluff check-raising 10% of the time.
