But if villain is a good player, won't he be occasionally pushing on a bluff

all that really matters is will he be pushing enough on a bluff to make calling getting < 2:1 profitable, no?

Turnip, would u have raised the river? If so do u like the amount I chose?

[turnipmonster]

yes I like the river raise and like the amount. I think I would make it a little more there (~500) but whatever, probably doesn't matter much IMO.

[turnipmonster]

btw I would have checked turn also but limon's reasoning has got me thinking twice about that, although for a one pair small pot type hand I really don't think checking can be that bad.

Could someone explain this in more detail please? To me, it seems like checking the turn and calling the river (assuming a normal bet, not this 45 dollar one) gets the same amount of money in and sees a showdown instead of just assuming the cr isnt a bluff. Also, it of course gets money in against the weaker elements of villian's range.

I am not 100 percent clear on this concept either, but I am pretty sure limon is assuming the turn check-raise is rarely EVER a bluff. I think I agree

you dont know how much money your gettin in if you check the turn. you dont know much of anything actually. which sucks in a game where information is king and free cards kill.
