Default Re: Bet or check this river?

[ QUOTE ]
I consider the river bet to be a steal. Its not a value bet, but it can be +EV because of the size of the pot.

You are correct, this is where we differ. I think if you are attempting to steal with AK high you are making a mistake in most instances. This may work against an opponent who chases underpairs to the river and then gives up. However, in my experience, most dont give up. Dont try to bluff a calling station.

You were analyzing whether the bet in a bubble; as if the pot were 0 BB. But it's not.

again, if we are talking about a value bet, the size of the pot does not matter. if it is a steal, you are correct, pot size must be taken into consideration.
