Default Re: Missed a value bet? Tourny Limit o8 hand

KneeCo - I think you played correctly. I think you only get called on the river if Villain has a hand that might beat yours. And then maybe you get check-raised. But because of the very aggressive way you have bet this hand up to this point, you cannot tell if the check-raise is for real or not - and therefore I think you have to call the check-raise.

Thus a bet probably gains you nothing and may lose for you.

Keep in mind that your opponent bet the flop originally and has stayed with you. Without the possibility of a check-raise, betting or not seems a close decision. When you consider that you may get check-raised if you bet, I think a check on the river is clearly your best play.

Just my opinion.
