Default Re: check/call check/call check/raise the river

Thank You. My point exactly. Say you raise preflop. What do the fish put you on? AA? AK? Say an ace hits the flop, okay they say, you don't have AA, you must AK. And then they proceed to check/call and chase whatever it is that chasers chase.

Now when a passive player like that check raises you on the river, he is saying "I know you have Top Pair Top Kicker, and I have that hand beat" If you call his check raise and you do indeed have TPTK, then you are throwing your money away.

If a player were to actually show you his cards and he has a better hand, do you really need to do a pot odds/pot size calculation to call the river raise?
