It's a good idea against players who call with more hands than they will bet, which is virtually everyone.

No offense, but what exactly is the CM Theorem? (Especially since there is some confusion on when to apply it in this thread.)

Always bet the river when ALL of the following conditions are met:

1. You are headsup.
2. You are out of position.
3. The 4th flush card hit on the river.

That's it.

For more on this concept, consult Theory of Poker, pg. 211 for a more detailed explanation on why this is a good idea. In short, it is often (usually?) a -EV bet, but checking is more -EV, since your opponent will call with many hands you beat but check behind with when you check.

In this case depending on your hand it also can win as a bluff and prevent you from being bluffed when you couldn't really call a bet but your hand is unexpectedly good.

Dynasty had the following to say:

This thing you're calling the Clarkmeister principle is better used when you've got a relatively weak hand (one pair) and there's little chance you'll be folding the winner.

Any further comment?

I don't think you can call a cap without the K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I don't like the river play here by CP.

[/ QUOTE ]

13:1 vs an unknown the second nut isn't good enough? Even to look me up? Then again, I did mention Clarkmeister...

[/ QUOTE ]
Are you sure you understand the difference between the words "with" and "without"? You had the K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] so his statement isn't saying that you should fold.

Villian is a donk. The 3-bet is awful as is his calling of the cap. If you are bluffing the 4-flush, he should just call the raise. If you have the nuts he just loses more by 3-betting. Terrible reraise in that spot. Nice hand.

[/ QUOTE ]

If I were in Fnord's position, I'd be value-raising the J, T, 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], and possibly even lower, so I think Villain's 3-bet is fine. I'd probably fold to a 3-bet, but most TAGs on Party aren't 2+2'ers, and many who are would still call a 3-bet.
