Default Re: How do you play the river when your opponents *know* your hand?

Hi coolhand,
I've read the results, so it's easy for me to say, but I'd usually bet the river against the lineup you described. One reason for betting not mentioned yet is that since the pot is so big, people will call with even worse hands than usual.
And no, you of course can't bet and fold to a raise here, with roughly a million bagillion dollars in the pot. I play Stud 8 against an even weaker lineup than you describe, and my biggest leak is occasionally folding a winner in a big pot, because I reason that even the dumbest player knows that so and so has a flush, so he must be able to beat that if he's raising. I'm still surprised from time to time at their stupidity and mine.
