whats to explain? hero has the best hand; therefore he should bet.

100 is a nice sum, because top pair which is often out there, will not fold.

Just getting to this post for the first time. I think you have an easy bet on the river. But I would have bet the turn.

Cleaning up flush outs/good fold equity, I presume?

I do find that I'm checking behind quite often, maybe too often, with these kinds of draws. BBs weak lead/call worried me more than it probably should have.

Stacks are plenty deep to fold to a c/r, and I may get stacked on river if the flush hits. It's also pretty hard to get paid off well on the river if I hit unless there's an underflush.

OTOH... I just hate getting check/raised off my hand here...

Man. I have a lot to learn about value betting the river. I think I'm leaving a lot of money on the table in these spots if you guys think this is a clear value bet.

It would suck even worse to get bluffed off the best hand when AXcc misses on the river. You should bet the turn because MP definitely has either TPWK if he sucks hardcore or a draw if he sucks a bit less. And BB has a draw or I'm a monkey's uncle. So you charge the draw and hope to get MP to drop his weak (but better than your) holding. Best parlay of course is when BB chases his draw (which he looks like he's pretty willing to do) and then MP folds the winner. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think that what those that are advocating the value bet are saying is that there is pretty much no way that either villian has me beat here, and thus, I should bet.

Then, I just pray that they're bigger donkies than I realized(As was the case here), or have AK.

Since you're LAGing it up, I bet here. Good chance you get called by a worse hand. It'll look like you missed your flush after a semibluff.

I'd bet how much you bet on a river "bluff" earlier. Me I like a slight overbet of the pot to make it fishy.

Sweet...I was hoping for the bunny with a pancake on its head picture. But hey, any humorous picture is good.
