Eeewww, do I have to bet?(8/b)

This is a game on PR and the people playing are usually considerably worse than the players in the 1-2 on PS. The game seems tougher tonight though. Not tough by any means, but tougher. 10 cent ante btw.

Since HHs are very unreadable from this site I am going to type the action because it was very simple.


Seat 3: DONKEY [xx,xx,7H,10H,AC,5C,xx]
Seat 7: CLOWN [xx,xx,7D,8S,3C,9D,xx]
Seat 8: HERO [AH,5H,7S,AD,8C,KS,4H]

I bet out on 4th and was called by both. Same action on 5th and 6th and then I checked the river. I didnt like betting 5th or 6th, but then I almost felt like I should have bet the river. I was confused.

the river is perfect for a check-call. if you bet, lows and two pair hands will call, hands you beat will fold. you might get a bluff out of a busted low or worse high hand, or a low might bet it. you won't have to pay off a raise from a low-looking two pair, either. if it goes check-bet-raise, fold only if the pot is very small or you think it'll get jammed.

the only reason to bet is if you think a lower pair will call, which is very unlikely. also, since those lows may be out, you might be betting at half the pot.

check-call.

agree---terrible spot for a bet, check, call, pray

Looks fine to me. What was the question?
