Default Re: 50/100 party hand I was sweated on

in which case you fold, but if he has AK or AQ or 77 or 99 or whatever you get paid sometimes. i think betting the river is strong if you make the mistake of check-calling the flop and turn and feel compelled to put in exactly one more bet. it's better than check-call.

I have not played in a online game yet (and i admit to never playing higher than 50-100, so this isnt universally true) where players don't make silly errors in terms of bluffing or value betting a worse hand here to make not seeing showdown an option on the river assuming you are putting in one bet. Basically i feel if we are going to put in a bet, lets [censored] showdown the hand. There are so few worse hands that will call bets here, and let's not put ourselves in a sitatuion where we can get bluff raised, it doesn't havta happen very often to [censored] you. I definitly pop the river from time to time after someone donks it with this action.
