Default Re: \"Value Bet\"?

Wow. Reading all these replies it seems there is some confusion. I have also struggled with understanding this concept and how to apply it.

I have understood a value bet as a bet on the river that will get a worse hand to call enough to cover the times when a better hand would call and win or raise you.

For example, you have TPTK and have been betting the whole way and have been called the whole way and when the third of a suit comes on the river, will a bet in this situation be a winner enough times to make it worth betting?

I'm sure if I am wrong that someone will clear it up shortly. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
