20-40...Would You Ever Check This River?

[glen]

Here's how I see it. I will admit that a hole in my game is when I read hands I often ask myself, "Would I have possibly played (whatever range of hands I put my opponent) on that way?" and then if there is no way I would, I will eliminate that possibility. So, sometimes I compromise logic in favor of, well, a different kind of logic, which is very narrow (uh oh, I am starting to sound like Elysium). Usually, when I give people too much action as a result of this, they usually left a ton of money on the table earlier in the hand, and then I don't sweat it that much. If he has you beat, he misplayed his hand and got fancy somewhere, so reward him with an extra bet and feel good about the theoretical money you saved.

Jeff, I am taking you off JTo after three limpers. Please read hpfap and top 4 times fast, count to ten, and then forget all about JTo after 3 limpers. . .
