Re: More correct value bet marginal hand on river in small pot or big pot?
[ QUOTE ]
this is called a bluff...
i dont exactly understand what you're saying here...we're talking about betting marginal hands, not bluffing...

I'm confused. I answered a question about betting marginal hands, and you say that's the same as bluffing. Then later in the same post you say the reverse.
I don't think the names matter much. A pure bluff has no chance of winning if called, a marginal hand has a small chance, a value bet has a large chance. You can draw the lines wherever you like, and discuss in-between hands like value bluffs, but the important question is what to do.
While there are many considerations, as a very broad generality, all other things being equal, I think betting a marginal hand on the river is a better action in a large multiway pot than a small pot against one player. Do you disagree?
