Sanity check

[J.R.]

I know you're trying to mock him but he's generally right and your notion about betting the river is, as you intended it to appear, silly. The flop bet and, dependent on the turn card and who sees the turn, to a lesser extent the turn bet are not designed to fold a better hand but are rather 1) bets for value and 2) bets seeking to induce a hand to fold incorrectly (it does happen).
