Re: River bet - AK unimproved

Basically, the idea is that, when we underplay our hands, we certainly disguise the strength of our hand, and it's easy to see how that can pay off. But by disguising our hand, we also run the risk of tricking ourselves. We've given out false info and that can make it harder to read our opponents' reactions.

This is an interesting point, but I believe this is a matter of experience. The reason that it feels easier to play post flop with strong hands when we 3-bet is because we've done it so often. If we autobet after a 3-bet and villain raises, we have a general idea of what to do because we’ve been in spots like that hundreds if not thousands of times. Therefore, I don't think post flop is necessarily harder to play in absolute terms. It's just harder to play when you're new at it.
