Raised on river

Erik779 · #1 12-10-2005, 04:10 AM

Typical opponents in both hands, not tricky.
I find it hard to throw away my hand in situations like these, I believe its a leak.
How would you handle these rivers ?

I'd call both.

Calling either of these rivers is nowhere near a leak. So much so, that in #2, 3-betting the river is better than folding. Also in #2, you really need to bet that flop, your hand will be good here very often.

I'd call both. Hand 2 isn't even close. Hand 1 you're beat a lot here but not enough to fold.

I'd call both.

Hand 2: I'm not crazy about the turn bet. Yeah, you have trips, but the pot is super-small and nobody showed any interest preflop or the flop, which usually means that they are holding squat. I'd rather check and let someone stab. If it gets checked through, no biggeee. It's likely that someone will make a 2nd best hand on the river and will call a bet there, but would not have called a bet on the turn. If the board wasn't rainbow then I would bet here because flush draws would call (in addition to gutshots).
