Re: Tough River Decision #5
It's not a tough river decision if you check. Your hand is pretty transparent...a buried pair for two pair seems likely. His hand is also pretty obvious...4 flush. And spades are live as all hell. If you check, you may induce a bluff from a busted draw whereas if you bet, you don't get called unless he can beat two decent pair. And if he can do that, he has a flush. And if he has a flush, you get raised. I don't see a bet having value here, particularly with open 9's against a someone that either made their hand or didn't.
