Default Re: set K\'s and coordinated board on river

It’s 13-1 to call a check/raise on the river. I’d want a better read than, “not particularly aggressive” before I fold there.

This is a good reason why players like yourself are probably not winning as much as you could be. Just beacuse you're getting 13-to-1 here is not a good reason to call. Look at the board. Recall how Villian has played the previous streets. Recall that Hero has only shown-down quality hands. Realize that this board looks just as scary to a Villian as it does to Hero.

This Villian is NOT checkraising with less than the nuts here.

Its far more important on these kind of hands to get to showdown then value bet. I'd much rather have check /call then bet / fold. You are not going to get called very often with this board, but you run the risk of too many people playing a c/r bluff or what they think is a c/r value bet. You have position in the hand, use it for the free/low cost show down.
