Bad River Fold?

[GTSamIAm]

This guy was loose and passive. But some fish will bluff rivers, others will never. I don't know what to do with king high...

Looks good. Even if he's "bluffing" with A-high, you lose.

Your other option is to bet the turn and take a free showdown (this is my default play).

Against two callers you bet the turn?

[tyler_cracker]

Sure. There's a chance you have the best hand, you have much more fold equity than on the flop (many fish will call anything on the flop and then get serious on the turn when the bet size doubles), and you get a free showdown if you want it almost all the time.

This board is admittedly pretty coordinated, so no one with a T, 9, 8, 7, or 6 is folding, thus your line might be better in this case. The downside is you don't get to showdown. Whatever. Next hand.

cant call the river here, fold was correct.

Nope. You can't even beat an A bluff.
