Edit: I would have check/called the river

I disagree. I think the typical 3/6 player calls more much more often ... with hands that you beat than you don't.

I don't think he is betting the river with many hands that don't beat you.

Mr. Chairman,

In my experience, which is almost all at 1/2 however, you won't get called much on this river by anything you beat, many of the hands that called you so far already have a straight and are slowplaying it, or they were calling with the hopes of an ace (Ax) or a five (2big, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 8big, 82, 83, 84, 86, 87, 89) or either one (A2, A8)to come.

Therefore, with this small pot, I think check/folding > bet/folding.

However, because checking will sometimes induce a bluff, I think check/calling > bet/folding; at least against an unknown and later, enough of the time to keep to him honest.

By betting you allow him to call those weak hands and the board doesn't seem to lend itself to a bluff-raising that often.

How is this not a good bluff-raising board? The only way it could be better is if it was the ace of hearts.

That said I do think bet/folding is right, especially at this limit where bluff-raising is less common - I just don't think the possibility should be discounted entirely.

I think that it's not considered a good raising board because villian will often think that hero may have been flop betting his gutshot and hit it on the turn.

It is good because people are less likely to do it here. On this board when raised it is usually straight / A. When people are more educated in the game and realise that a raise will mean straight/A and they are against a thinking TAG then a bluff raise is more common and only when they believe Hero doesn't have the straight....
