Re: worst. river. ever.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] A lone bet and perhaps call. Usually fold. [/ QUOTE ] Do you mean it depends on who is betting? [/ QUOTE ] Yeah. I call BB's bet if the others fold; he has a bunch of overpairs in addition to the possible A, and a TAG is likely to interpret the check as an opportunity to win the pot by representing an A even when he doesn't have it. I never call the LPP in MP or the unknown who 3-bet for a freecard on the flop. [/ QUOTE ] i agree with what you wrote about the BB (especially since he's still relatively unknown to me) and the loose passive, but i disagree with the unknown. i think he has a made hand on the flop or a 3 often enough to call if he bets. [/ QUOTE ] The problem with calling the unknown's bet is that you have two guys to act behind you. Granted, the checks make it less likely that one of them has an A, and the last position bet makes it more likely he's taking a stab with a worse hand, but you've still got to account for action behind you, especially if LPP is really passive. I'm also less convinced that there's a large enough range of hands the unknown plays with a 3 in hand that is confident enough to 3-bet the flop after a lead and PFR raise. I'd personally stay away from calling the LP's bet.

Re: worst. river. ever.
Yeah - I'm open to calling unknown's bet. I'm not sure it's +EV despite the pot size; not sure it's - EV. The fact that he's last to act and checked to on the river 4-handed means a lot. I'd certainly do so if finding I folded the best hand would disturb me greatly. I think if he's got a 3 in his hand then it is most likely 33, but of course unknowns lip with hands like Q3s often enough; I think that one of these guys (LPP or unknown) has an A; I've seen a passive guy check an A in hands like this enough to think about it when he's yet to act behind me. Sounds like MUBS, I know, but I don't think looking at it here on the forum makes it a clear call (if it's really close, I think of it as really close, and don't look at it as a 16 BB decision). In the heat of the moment, I probably call it from unknown, but I'm not really thrilled with it when I review the session, whether I win the hand or not.

Re: results
[ QUOTE ]
a couple 2p2ers said bet/fold the river and i think that may be better than checking. [/ QUOTE ] What is the argument for betting the river from these 2+2ers? Doesn't seem like this is a good play though I'm certainly open to understanding why others like a bet here.

There are many worse hands that will call in this large pot but none is going to bet. No one will raise this river with a hand that bakku beats. bet/fold for value.
