I'm value pushing the river.

I dont like a river push at all. A huge percentage of the time they fold unless they have the flush right? What do you do if you make a vb and get check raised with an all in? I can be weak tight so I check the river so I dont bust when I could have increased my stack by a nice percentage. I just dont like the risk reward. It is a $22 so theres plenty of donks I guess. Unfortunatly you probally dont have any reads if theyre loose enough to call with a decent hand.

Not true, if they are thinking players a push looks like you're bluffing the flush and they may call with a good K, if they are not, well, they'll think their KJo is good because they're donks.

It'll work more often than you think.

What was your thinking on the trun raise?

SammyKid11 · #6 10-31-2005, 03:54 AM

Yeah, here's my thinking...

I raise the turn because villain's bet looks very much like that's the price he's willing to pay to draw to his flush, and I'm certainly not going to let him. Then, when the third player calls the raise...alarm bells start to go off that perhaps he's already made his flush and is looking to keep the initial bettor involved.

I figured it was very conceivable that at least one of them had the flush...and I still had enough chips left at that point to be competitive...so that's why I didn't bet the river. Can someone show me why my river check was wrong? (I'm not being cocky, I really wanna know if this is a bad move)

To clarify, in a $22 there is almost no way someone doesn't jizz all over themselves to bet their flush on the river here. When it's checked to me here, I'd probably shove (unless i thought both would fold, in which case I'd make a smaller but substantial vb).

SammyKid11 · #9 10-31-2005, 04:04 AM

Okay...what if the villain who cold-called my turn raise pushed into me? Am I calling?

Am I being a donkey and giving these guys too much credit?

tigerite · #10 10-31-2005, 05:46 AM

Shove the river. Without question.
