Re: The art of value calling river raises!
[ QUOTE ]
On the river, a total bluff-raise doesn't make any sense, because weak player is calling no matter what. So he either has me beat, OR he has something that he thinks has a very good chance of beating weak player's hand at least.
[/ QUOTE ]
-He's not bluffing into two people who already invested a bet.
-So his raise indicates he can beat top pair.
-There aren't any plausible 2 pairs, especially since he would surely have bet out the flop w/ Jx.
-So he must have better than 2 pair.
Of course I'm like you - I can do the analysis but I don't have enough trust in it to stop from making the crying call.
At any rate: interesting hand, thanks for posting it.
