Re: 5/10 4 flush on the riva: A good time for a bet-fold?
[ QUOTE ]
Does anyone like to check/call to induce a bluff from Ax hoping x isn't a heart? That's my line here alot, how bad is it?

Basically, a hand with an A in it is usually going to check the river behind, particularly as this opponent is passive. Few opponents would bet for value here or try to fold small [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]s.
In general, all that checking does is allow an opponent without a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] to see a free showdown while allowing opponents with [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]s to make correct value bets against you. By showing weakness, even small hearts that have you beat will often correctly value bet.
The point is that checking allows your opponent to play close to perfectly.
