Default Re: Assuming you are talking about limit

and obviously your read is important here too.

even just the 'stats' on your opponent without a read can do the trick.

If your opponent has stats that he is pretty darned tight on the river then you can go ahead and be more likely to let it go if the pot is something less than huge.

If your opponent has previously been raising rivers and induced a couple folds from you or opponents (or showing-down hands that weren't THAT great) than you are obviously going to be more willing to call it down.


I disagree that this isn't discussed though.
These types of 'my opponent C/R'ed me on the river' type of hands come up in the strategy forums all the time.


post a specific hand and your read of the opponent/situation and perhaps you'll get some feedback as to whether your call-down or fold was a good idea.

Default Re: Is this a Leak?How to fix?

ok so sometimes if villain is really aggressive just check/call to induce bets from more hands than they call with. but if your opponent is passive then value bet. when you get raised and if you think that the arent bluffing think about HOW SURE YOU ARE then compare it with the size of the potand if the pot is big enough to cover the times when you lose on bet vs when you win the whole pot you need to call.
