As played, is river a call?
It's mostly because turn is often where the most value is. Villains over call turn bets and over fold river bets. This is because they are such stations (literally calling to try to hit 2pr or trips or whatever) that they get to river with a really wide range that has to fold a lot.
I've seen people call a stuff on this turn with like the bare Q
. No clue wtf is going through their mind bc they could be drawing dead but yea, they call so freaking much man. So the times they would call a turn all in with K
x
or A
x
, or Q
J
, or J
J
, or whatever, but check fold river, we miss a lot of value if we check.
We also can't be afraid of calls (be afraid of aggression tho). But if they just keep calling then bombs away. Think of all the times you stuff A
Q
as a bluff here and get snap called by black K
Q
and think WTF WHAT A STATION...remember this and start value shoving thinner.
If you stuff into a flush, w/e. If you aren't value owning yourself occasionally you aren't value betting enough.
Yes, as played call, your pot odds are too good and you don't need to win often.
