I play it the same, the river call is probably -EV but good for information.

He limps UTG so he is probably a bad player. I would call that river too for future information.

Why is c/c better than b/f here?

you beat more hands he bets with, than calls.that is, you are less of an underdog when he bets, than calls.once he bets, you are an underdog.just like if he calls.and...you get a read this way

But we lose all of our fold equity when we c/c this.If he's not folding, he's calling which means we still get to see his hand...so we still get a read.I would either b/f or c/f this.

If he called a bet on the turn with a pair, he will call a bet on the river with a pair. You really dont have much FE here.I imagine the river call was info only.

Even if we don't have 'much' FE here, if it's going to cost us the same (I doubt he raises the river here) to get a read on him. Why not take a last ditch effort at stealing the pot if betting costs us the same exact thing as c/c?I know i'm assuming he doesn't raise the river here, but I don't see a call, call, raise line very often.

Your right, but another good thing about checking here, is that we may get a free showdown, and not cost ourselves anything.

true.PK,also, we beat more that he bets with than calls with.Because we beat nothing but a bluffwe have a good bluff catching hand.We will lose almost 100% when he calls.We will win sometimes when he bets with a missed drawWe will never fold a better hand.Name a hand that calls the turn that beats us that folds to a river bet?There are hands we beat, though, that will bet the riverthis is an c/c SH to me 80% and c/f 20%
