Party 2 / 4

[Geo]

AA on the button

5 limpers and I raise all call

Flop 10h Jh 2c
I bet 3 callers

Turn 5 c

I bet all call

River 9 s

I bet ep raise 2 fold and I ???????

Should I have just checked here and saved 2 bets, folded to the raise or played it correctly but lost anyway.

[J.R.]

played it correctly but lost anyway.

or played it correctly and came out ahead in the long run. Pot is big, so your margin for error is huge. You'll win enough.

[thirddan]

call the bet, the pot is huge...

[Geo]

Thxs guys

A no brainer to call I thought, its the bet for value concept that I am having trouble with.

Will I get called by a weaker hand enough to make this a profitable move in the long run as apposed to checking it down.

[J.R.]

YES

[StellarWind]

You have to bet the river and you have to call. That's the way it is.

Any deviation from the way you actually played this hand warrants harsh criticism.

Sorry you lost this time.
