Default Re: Girl lays down cowboys on river

If you smooth call the turn that also allows to call a reasonable size river bet, say of 200. That would mean that the hero put 280 in the pot and could win the hand!. The turn raise line only allows the hero lose 200 if the raise is called no matter what the villain has as long as the villain bets on the end. The other reason the call is better is pot control. The villain will only be able to bet reasonably around 200 on the river and may value bet something like a8 or bluff with a busted draw. I think this hand falls under the either way ahead or way behind category therefore passive play is probably the best line (lose the least, win the most).
