Default Re: ub 50-100 river checkraise #1

I am simply shocked by the number of replies telling you to bet the turn.

I think we've had like 23984 hands on here recently where somebody got c/red on the turn with a big draw, and everybody and their mother told them to check behind.

This is a classic spot where we're either way ahead or behind with a good draw to improve to the best hand. If we get c/red here, we throw up in our mouth and have to fold.

I love the turn check, but I'm unsure of the river.

Your line screams flush draw, so it's not too surprizing that villian would check to you with a big hand, planning a c/r, figuring that you'll just fold to a bet anyway. On the other hand, villian has no reason to figure that you can call this bet, so a bluff becomes more likely.

Villian has to be bluffing here an awful lot to make this a good call.
