I think I might check the river.

DEFINITELY check this river. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

There are 3 overcards out there. If he calls you are beat. It's not a value bet imo.

Do you fold to a raise?

Bodhi · #5 06-06-2005, 04:46 AM

Yes. This is one of those opponents who goes to the river hoping to spike any pair, and then will call another bet "in case he's bluffing."

But overall it was probably too optimistic to value-bet here.

I think you are correct here bud.

Very thin value bet, imo.

If your read is correct, he could have already spiked an overpair. I'm checking behind.

I bet Villain has some garbage like QT here.
