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

Really? Don't you think your opponent folds here often enough at .50/1.00 with no [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] to make this +EV?

I have no idea whether the river bet is +EV. But you get the, "Can only win if you bet" justification for bluffs and it sucks. You judge a bluff based on the % time you get your opponent to fold and the pot size.

Say I'm sandwiched between 2 players with a nut flush draw. They cap the flop and turn. I miss. Should I bet the river because it's the only chance I have to pick up the pot.
