Default Re: Should I bet this river?

IMO, check-call is the only way to go in the absence of a read that strongly suggests a flush. Checking rather than betting saves a BB if there is a flush, but also encourages him to bet with nothing since you led up now, hence the call.

This is bad advice IMO. You must bet here. Do you have any idea how many hands here the LP will call with that you have beat. Pretty much any pair at all (whether it be a PP or part of the board). Most of these pairs this villain will simply check right behind you if you check, thus missing you a bet.
