I agree with your point. Most worse hands are going to flod, and all better hands are going to call/re-raise. This is obviously the opposite of our goal in any given hand. My thought was that if my bet on the river was rasied, I would feel comfortable that I was beat, and be able to fold without any hesitation. Looking back, the turn is obvioulsy the correct place for me to get this info by making a bigger bet.

That being said, what is a more appropiate scenario to throw out a blocking bet on the river? I know that is a very broad question, but any advice would be apreciated as this is something I am still looking to plug into my game. Thanks.
