Re: What to do on the river ...
I like it. Put your opponent on a hand. He limped first in. Ok, no strong ace, no broadway. We're looking at a low PP or some suited connectors. The PF saw one raise. Flop is 8 high and he just calls. Many opponents raise such a low TP because they won't be TP for long. Turn is a T. Still just calling. Could be on a str8 draw with 56, could still have he 66, may have just hit 9T. River is an 8, nice low card he knows missed you. You check. What is he gonna think? "OMG he has AK. 55 is GOOD!!!! BET BET BET!" We are only worried about hands with an 8. We beat all other 2P hands. He doesn't have any other trips. We also allow him to bet 56 in the vain hope that you fold.
