looshle 6 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Def c/r river on any spade. Most hands that aren't going to bet river if we check are likely to fold to our lead anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
mdroc1 0 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I would bet again in this spot. If you check and call, you have no real extra information. If you get raised and you have no info on them, it's likely that they have no info on you either. They will assume that you may have AJ or AQ, so a raise from them indicates that they can beat that. If you're new to the opposition, I don't think they will try and test you out with an A-7 by raising, but they will raise with 10-9. If they call, it's fair to assume they also have an A-x and you may be in trouble, but a spade will probably win it or a card above 10 on the river will give you a split pot. Betting also gives the opportunity for a player with A-6 to throw away. You may find a player with K-K who refuses to believe you have an ace.Once you start checking and calling, you're losing the initiative and starving yourself of information.The real difficulty comes when one or both call, the river is a like an 8 or a 10 and you have to decide whether to bet or check....

Wouldn't we be better off without this information and instead keeping the big bet in our stack? Link to post Share on other sites
