Default Re: what is standard line?

It's much easier to bet the river if you can semi-represent a big hand that AK or AA would have to fear. For instance if the river completes (even a backdoor) flush draw, or if the flop was K T T instead of K 5 5.

I bet the river about 75% here though even on dry boards. You'll get called by almost anything he has, whereas he will check behind with a lot of hands. Sometimes they even try yo raise your donkbet with hands you beat.

usually when you take this check/call check/call lead line;
you want to be able to fold to a raise on the river.

I think lestat had a post about this recently.

The potential river raise for worse hands is what makes me lean toward a check, espeically when I am not going to pay off a raise.
