Full Version: Two Pair; Check Behind On The River Here?

This is the first hand in this session, so I have no reads.

I will take comments on all streets, but my main question is this: do you fire again on the river? I felt like this is the type of situation where I am only getting called by better hands and all worse hands are going fold, so I feel like checking is right. It also gives missed flush draws a chance to bluff... I don't know, what do you think?

Thanks.

Just bet. He calls with any Jx hand and likely has KJ/QJ/JT or something. The only value that you'd miss out on is if he's got a busted flush draw that he'd have bluffed if you checked to him. He could even have 9xcc and make a hero call.

Depends on villain. I'd value bet against a more passive player and check it to a more aggressive player. Although an aggressive player might raise a draw on the flop.

Based on this hand I bet the river, I don't think this villain is going to fire with missed draws very often so get some value out of your hand.

Just put him all in, he's short stacked.

There's like 0 busted draws he could have here.

edt: didn't see how short he was. Shove.
