Default Re: Marginal value bet river situation 3/6 high

You might mention whether you raised or called on third.

If there were only the draw in against you, you might check, because if the draw is all he has, he'll raise if he gets there and fold if he doesn't. You need to be sure that the draw is all he has, though, because anyone will pay you off with two pair when you have no pair and no draw showing.

The other guy has something, however. He will pay you off with a worse hand a very large percentage of the time. You have a clear value bet.

And I wouldn't necessarily put the "draw" on a draw. He could have a straight draw, but he could also have two pair or something like pocket Nines. He could easily have enough to pay you off with, but he probably won't beat you.
