Let also ask you y you didn't cap the flop



I personally think it helps to define sb's hand a bit better.

I was going for sarcasm.. did not work. My point is that a donk bet is close to a insta-call.

In the original hand a check-raise would suck, but with th pot so big and our read so shaky... I just think it is an easy call. As I said earlier, I think if you are going to fold to a checkraise on this without a solid read you are better off checking.

Because one Bad fold... negates quite a few of those "neutral EV" "value bets" .

I am not real concered about results. I am more concerned to understand the thinking behind the opinions.

So why no cap on the flop?

flair i think thats entirely wrong. folding to a checkraise adds immediate value to a bet. in fact, it adds significant value to a bet.

getting 18:1 to call a river checkraise, if you think a fold is correct it means that you dont believe a bet has 1/18th in value.

this means that KK extracts 1 and ~1/18th of a bet against you when he has this holding whereas you extract 1 bet against AA. as proven by combos, AA is twice as likely as KK which means that if you feel you can fold to a checkraise that a value bet has the +ev of almost an entire half bet!

it seems that you think you should check if you feel you need to fold to a checkraise because you dont trust your own judgment in poker. we should all trust our own judgment. clearly if we didnt trust our judgment that a fold is correct then the safe route is to just call the checkraise.

as shown, even if we call the checkraise the bet is profitable by a slight margin. folding adds significant value onto the bet.

Who said it had anything to do with the river? I still feel the flop should be played out this way as I nearly c/r a blank on the turn w/AA, KK.

Like I said, if you didn't be the river, you misplayed every street.

I think by not capping the flop we have put ourselves in postion to either Check behind on the river or Bet call.
