First round at the table. No reads yet.

I'm scared. Should I bet this river?

A river donk here would be horrible. If you though you were ahead then you should have capped the turn or should be CRing the river. Dont donk it because button might raise and let the other guys fold instead of auto overcalling due to pot size.

If they dont bet the river it likely means that they dont have AA or KK. That means that you are ahead and should bet.

i'd have capped the turn, you're getting 3 to 1 on the raise. you're missing a ton of value in the long run by playing scared here.

I agree that nothing good can happen from a river donk. Should I feel raped if the button checks behind me?

I don't think AK is checking behind here pretty much ever, and that's what we're hoping for.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Best case scenario is AK anything better than that and I'm dead.

I at least think about capping the turn. You are getting a ton of overlay. I'm not sure. Calling might be better.

I don't bet the river.
