Value betting against two opponents..

[lostinthought]

I just sat down and accidently posted. No reads on anybody..

Heads up the river is an easy bet. Against two opponents, I don't like my kicker here. Weak?

Thats an old line but everytime I hear it I still chuckle.

And he's right. God does. Don't check. And don't forget to drink your milk everyday.

You win the prize for creativity.

On another note, who else posts in the CO position normally when sitting down at a table? I've recently started doing so.

Extremely.

Don't you think you'd normally have heard from a better queen by now? I would say the likelihood that a better queen is out there is many times less than likely than a) a worse queen, b) a middle/bottom pair, good kicker (AT), c) a busted draw (KJ, J9, 89) is out there.

You win. Bet and drag the pot.

I agree with the others that you really must bet the river here.

But out of curiosity why do you feel it's an easier bet heads up than against two opponents? I think it's an even worse check against two.

[censored], I now post UTG. Posting in CO is *soooo* last year.

2+2 table, last night....

I'll post anywhere but the first 3 seats. It just doesn't matter to me that much. 25% of the time i'll get a playable hand, then another 5% of the time i'll flop something decent to monsterish (we'll forget the time I posted, got 58o - flop 558 and lost to 88. :P ).

It's just not that big of a deal to me.
(Posting in BB = .15 SB/hand, posting in CO = .14 SB/hand, posting 3 off the button = .2 SB/hand)

Bet this river. Not doing so is bad. Very bad.
