[1/2 NL] JJ linecheck - Page 2 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

I think there's a distinction between "betting for information" and betting(for value, for example) and that bet gives us information. For instance if we think our JJ is ahead and bet 1/2 pot on turn and get crai and fold, that's not betting for information IMO. This happens all the time with river value bets, right?

I understand that in some cases our bets (either for value or as a bluff) give us information about our opponent's hand even though we're not "betting for information." I was referring to other people in this thread advocating betting the turn to clarify villain's range.

That must be a nice game you play in where you can call potsize river donkbets with 2nd pair

Inability to make hero calls and think only in terms of absolute value will shackle you to the doom of being a nit-reg.

I am not speaking of this hand specifically, but saying that calling pot sized bets or donk bets or bet/calling with 2nd pair is bad as a rule is stupid. It depends, and if you've never done any of the above, you're probably too tight. Remember, your WTSD% when calling river bets doesn't need to be more than 33% or whatever.

Oh right, time to say:

RULES ARE RULES ARE RULES ARE RULES ARE RULES.
