Re: Easy river value bet?
[ QUOTE ]
I'm thinking you should check or push. I prefer checking...I think. I don't think you should bet small. [/ QUOTE ] I don't see a worse hand calling a push and a better hand isn't folding so why push? |

[/ QUOTE ] I think plenty of worse hands may call as a push looks much more like a missed draw than a smaller bet. Moreover there's a tiny tiny chance you might get a K-high flush to fold. |

Milking an extra 10% or whatever from the pot just doesn't seem worth the risk of a, losing extra when he has nuts and b, getting bluffed out -- a *disaster* |

I understand the arguments for checking, but I would think there's value in betting here at the $16 level. edit: well, it wasn't exactly a blocking bet, but it sure feels like a Q protecting his hand. |

Do I make enough from Q's calling to make up for the times I get c/red? [/ QUOTE ] Likely hands you are ahead of: Two pair, a Q, a straight, a busted flush draw. Likely hands you lose to: K high flush I would be baffled to see a nut flush from my opponent at showdown. They played their hand horrifically in that case. However, it is possible that you beat a K high flush into submission. I probably couldn't bring myself to fold to a c/r, and that's a good reason not to make a small bet. In addition, even a small value bet is still a high % of our remaining stack. Do you get paid off enough? I think most opponents don't get to the non-heart river with made hands you beat and then fold to a river bet. At low level SNGs, I expect this kind of play - I could be wrong of course. As I think I said earlier, checking is a reasonable and good play, especially against quality opponents. |
