Default Re: A river checkraise

I would bet out on the river. Since it seems likely these guys will call my bet, I think it's a bad thing if it gets checked down.

The button hasn't shown much strength, so I don't think you can count on him to bet it for you. If he has a weak ace, even if he's a bad player, I would expect him to check it. The only way he's going to bet, in my opinion, is if he was holding AQ or AJ and hit two pair. However, his betting patterns tell me he has something else and that I can expect a check behind.

And, these players don't feel like the types from whom you can induce a bluff.

I will only go for a river check raise if the players behind me have shown strength through the hand. I just don't like to leave bets on the table by trying to be tricky.

Regards,

T
