River(8.5BB): 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero ???


My main question is the river. Bet because the pot is somewhat large and villains are more likely to call with worse hands? Check and call a bet? Check and fold to a bet?

Also, good flop bet? I'd love to check raise a late position bet, but I have no reason to believe they will bet. Do I check and hope for a good spot to checkraise? The pot isn't very large, so I'm thinking the flop bet is ok...but I'm no expert.

Thanks for the help.

flop bet is good (try and look for spots to CR yes, but like you said you have no reason to believe they'll bet and the pot is small enough that betting should protect your hand), and yes the river is a definite bet.

Bet, bet, bet. The river didn't complete any scary looking draws so if he had 76, nh.

Thanks, just making sure I'm still sane.

Easy fold correct?
