Default Re: Another very close one. Value bet it?

Hi Dcifr,

I bet, for the following reasons:

1. I don't think he is checking behind with anything that beats me.

2. I don't think he is going to bluff his missed draw all that often. Your check shouts "I am going to call".

3. I'm not sure enough about 1 and 2 to feel good about check-folding.

4. There are plenty of worse hands that will call.

5. River bluff raises are not common.

So, given that I'm going to call if I check, I think the extra money gained from weaker hands calling outweighs the times I lose the pot to a bluff raise.

my 2 cents.
Eric
