Default Re: Give me a situation where bet/folding is better than check/calling

Bet/folding is very often a superior line to check/calling on the river when you've been showing aggression the entire hand.

Say you raise PF with AJs and go in HU but out of position.

Flop is KJ4. Bet, call.
Turn is 9. Bet, call.
River is T. If you check here, your opponent will bet all hands that beat you (Kx/JT/T9/Qx, etc.) but check behind all hands you beat. He's also virtually never going to raise a hand you beat. But he might very well call with a hand like AT or other random hands you beat.
