Default Re: A typical river situation that confuses me
This is another good time to bring up sthief09's theory. Our opponents like to check-call their marginal hands. Therefore, river donkbets are more often bluffs or monsters. So what good is a river raise? If he's FOS he will fold. If he has a big hand he will 3-bet. The only hands you beat here are "marginal," i.e. TPGK, etc. So just call this river bet.
