Deciding to go to River
If you think you have the best hand after the turn, bet or raise your opponent, but the river could complete an OESD, flush, or set, was it ever a mistake to have continued? Say for example you hold top pair like Jacks, two small pair, or other moderate hand. There is no 4 to a straight or 4 flush on board, so the river card must make the draw. If your read is that you are currently ahead, are there circumstances where it would be better to fold than make the turn bet and give the opponent the draw?
