Default Re: River folds are cool atm.

hey ben -

actually, it's pretty clear that you didn't understand my argument. I'm not assuming your river call is a huge mistake and you are correct in a very large pot it's usually never going to be.

here is an example

your opponent bets into you on the river, and you believe the following things are true if you raise:

55% of the time your opponent will call and you win
30% of the time your opponent will call and you lose
15% of the time your opponent will 3bet and you lose

you can only raise for value here if you can fold to a 3bet. Do you see this now?
