Default Re: Easy river value bet?

A check here is the best line.

You've played this hand pretty strong, villain has to know you have a strong hand. There's an outside chance villain will call a bet if he has KT, otherwise he's folding. And you're only reraised if you're beat (well, that's not true, it's tough to assume our opponents aren't donkeys.)

Anyway, I think there is some showdown value here as well. Checking this shows your opponents you bet your hands strong. But once again, we're assuming these donkeys pay attention. On these low level tables, it's difficult to adjust to what is the "correct" play. But I think checking is the line you should get used to making as you move up in limits.
