Default Re: Play this hand against me

The reason why I pay off with those smallish pairs on unscary boards is that I don't want people to notice I fold on the river and start taking shots at me.

But surely you don't have to call the bet everytime.

I steal pots with a river bet with some frequency and I certainly make note of players who call me. Of course, against a lot of players who won't bet the nuts on the river, just seeing you value bet and win with marginal holdings makes this play still more profitable. I don't make the play twice in a row if the first time I get called.
