Also, why not just check and call a river bet (that will proably be around the same $40)? He's not gonna pay you off with any busted straight or flush-draw (and he probably doesn't have an 8 or he would have bet the flop/raised the turn). If you really expect players out there to be bad enough to call you down with Ace high, than they are just as likely to be bad enough to bluff with Ace high or a busted 9-10.
You'll probably win the same amount (or close to) in the long run and you don't expose yourself to being bluff-raised off it by maybe another 4 or just someone who thinks you're weak.
Additionally, I woudln't have led the turn like a donk.....Statistics: Posted by Devbert — Tue Dec 12, 2006 7:22 pm
