Default Re: Pop quiz

Realizing that you might be ahead cannot make your hand worse. If it is likely enough to make calling a river bet profitable then it adds +EV to your hand. If it's not profitable (-EV) then it puts you back in the same boat as before. Call on the turn and fold the river. I really don't see how any other argument can be made here. I think people are getting confused because they assume they HAVE to call the river even if it's -EV for some reason.
