Re: check or bet
Jesus, is this hand really boring? Is the river check standard?

If you bet say 1/4 of the pot and fold to a raise, that might be better than checking and calling a bet of 1/2 the pot on the end, as an example. It seems highly likely that one of them has a flush given the 2 calls on the flop and that both players checked behind on the turn (seeming to make a draw more likely). I would probably check and call a small river bet. I didn't get the impression that these players were especially good or likely to bluff the river, so if there was a big river bet folding is probably best. |

Re: check or bet
i really don't like a 1/4 bet and fold to a raise in this spot, a 1/4 bet SMELLS of blocking bet and any aggressive player will take the opportunity to steal it away.
i like checking to see what CO does, and what the button does in response. that way if the CO feels like taking an idiot stab at the pot, you'll see what button does. if CO bets, and button calls/raises here, it's an easy muck. and if button folds, then you can call mr. donktastic CO. betting imo creates so many more questionable situations, where you will be too unsure of whether or not you're folding the best hand. |
