Hi guys,

Short, simple question:
In my database I'm currently losing big on the filter "calling river bet"
It's at -350bb/100, I know this is a big leak, and I'm working on it.

The question is:
Do good regs have a positive winrate at calling river bets, or is it always negative, just not as low as mine?

Kind regards!

Your question is poorly worded for yes/no.

It will be negative

The river is probably the STRONGEST street for most above average players.

Negative. Even if you play perfectly.

Calling a river bet can be higher EV than folding, but still losing money over the entire line.

This is why river call efficiency stats became a thing
