Dp you bet this river?

Super loose game. Last hand someone won with 23o. LP is your basic calling station.

Do you bet this river? LP has called the whole way without a thought. Am I just a wuss for even thinking of checking? Comments on all streets are welcome.

Thanks

Easy bet. More often than not he'll want to see if you have the Ace rather than fold. Was there any chance of folding anyone with a flop bet in this game?

Bet the river. Don't forget to thank your opponent for being an idiot. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think you have the best hand often enough to bet the flop.

Bet the river: any pair, Ace will often call.

I think you have to bet the flop here. You have two over cards that are likely good more times than not if they hit, the back door flush draw, the gutshot straight draw, and there is a chance your hand is still the best one right now.

After that betting the river and calling the raise is fine.

Bet the flop. You likely still have the best hand.

The river bet was fine. Your opponent is either very passive until he has a extremely strong holding or he slowplays in retarded spots, you should make note of this.
