thanks guys.

After reading through some of the ideas on 'inducing river-bluffs' in Weighing the Odds by King Yao (pretty good book imo) I was considering check/calling and hoping he would be more likely to bet at it with an inferior hand (that he otherwise might have folded vs. my river bet).

you will all be proud of me to know that I did indeed bet, he raises, I called.
And he showed the monster QTo.


I don't remember any part in the book about inducing a river bluff-raise though but I guess that's exactly what I did.


One lesson here that i needed to re-learn is that a lot of times that Ag-factor stat means diddly-squat (regardless of sample-size).


60/20 type-fish FREQUENTLY love to bluff-raise the river and it doesn't matter if they are ultra-passive (for a low ag-factor) in almost every other situation.

I know I can get VERY chip-spewish ALL the freaking time...so it helps to double-check on these and make sure I'm on the right track.
When I won the hand I felt more 'lucky' than 'smart'.


Frankly, I'm a little surprised that you all thought this was THAT obvious.
Thought there might have been a little play-room for differing opinions.
