Re: Bet or check this river?
Is he folding a better hand? Very doubtful.
So, when he calls, will it be with a worse hand more than 50% of the time (we obviously don't need to pay off a check-raise, absent a note on major weird crazy aggressiveness)? I kind of doubt it, absent again a read that he hasn't folded a river like ever. |

Re: Bet or check this river?
I check this river every time.
If he has a busted flush draw, he folds. If he has a pair, he calls. He folds any hands you beat, but calls with everything that beats you. This seems like a pretty straightforward check behind here. Anyone else think so? |

Re: Bet or check this river?
Being a donk how likely are we seeing a raise here, probably pretty slim so i think the better question is are you going to call if he bets. If yes might as well lead out. Is that thinking warped?

Re: Bet or check this river?
I think we call a bet because it might be a bluff with the 5 pairing and because the player is indeed a donk.
However, if he c/calls, that puts the opponent on a better hand range, most of which beat the hero, which is why I shy away from betting here. |

[/ QUOTE ] yes it does. if, when he calls you, he has a worse hand 45% and a better hand 55% of the time, you should not bet. edit: the first question is the correct one to be asking yourself. more than likely, he wont, unless he is an uber-donk, so this would be a river check behind, standard. |

Re: Bet or check this river?
What are you trying to accomplish by betting? The vast majority of players will call with anything that beats your hand. You may possibly get a call by A high hands but Idon't think a value bet will win in the long run. Unless, you know your opponent well enough that he'll fold a small pair, you should check.
