Re: Missed river value bet
If you're intent on getting to showdown - checking and calling is the correct play.
Villian is not folding a better hand enough of the time to give a bet value and he'll always call with hands that are ahead. However, given the texture of this board (4-straight/3-flush) there are many hands that are ahead that won't bet and we see showdown for free. OTOH - there are also many hands (ie. A-high) that might take a shot at the pot when checked to but, wouldn't have called a river bet.
