My river play has really been sucking lately. By that, I mean I've become a freakin' check/call type nit, and I'm losing astronomical amounts of value. As I'm sure all of you know, value betting strong (but non-nut) hands on the river in big pots can make a HUGE difference in profits.

Here's an awesome example. How do I stop being a nit?

I raise 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] to 2xBB (120BB stacks, 50NL), 3 callers.

Flop J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
-- I bet 3$, button calls (unknown)

pot 10
Turn 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
- I check, he bets 4$, I raise to 22$, he calls
