Default Re: I got laughed at today....

I don't like betting the river here unless you have some kind of read, or you improve. A lot of players would check raise the turn w/ 2 pair, but check-call the river to a turn 3 bet.
I'm not saying that betting the river is horrible. I'm just saying that its probably not for value. Yeah, a worse hand will call you, but will a worse hand check-raise the turn?

Lets say for some reason you are 100 percent sure that you aren't looking at AK. If you are up against a king with a weaker kicker, then its KT or KJ. There are more sets and two pair combos out there than KJ combos.

Also, you almost never run into players who check-raise bluff. If you were in first position, I like bet-folding. Having position here dictates that you check behind.
