KK unimproved against LAGs, do you bet this river

I hate the bet fold line. (Is it just me?)

I can be assured (mostly) of at least seeing the showdown for one bet by check calling.

No one at this table would fold a diamond to a single bet.

Checking could even induce a bluff or a bet from a weaker pair from these players.

It may be just me, but I don't want to induce a bluff on the river, cause I'll most likely fold to it.

Here's why you bet. You've been the aggressor the whole hand and saying you have a strong hand. If you bet you'll probably only get raised by the K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], and possibly the Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Then you know you're beat and you can lay it down.

Also by betting you can possibly force out any small [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], and win the pot without one.

If only get callers you get a showdown the same way you would by check-calling.

The bet-fold line is the only way to go with the river IMO.

I really don't think anybody is going to fold any [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in this huge pot. Plus, check/call can induce a bluff from a LAG. If you bet, only hands that you beat will fold.
I am check/calling this.

How many times in a thousand do you think a small diamond folds to a river bet? I think you could count it on your fingers and toes.

Maybe if you were an amputee.

I'd check the river and evaluate from there.

I probably would have check-called one, and check-folded two bets.
