This is why I call because so many feel obligated to bet here when your range is mostly big cards that have likely missed. They think "wow, my pair is likely good since he checked the turn, I must be ahead so I should bet". Donk thinking IMO. What calls this river bet? A ten probably calls and so does any overpair or better (not that many of these hands are in hero's range). If only a better hand will call, the bet is a bluff.
Obviously this bet could be a set, flush, etc. However, much of the time it is not, and is a terrible mistake. I'd actually rather check-call this river if I held 99 than bet it.Statistics: Posted by Triple B — Fri Apr 13, 2007 2:08 am
