Does anyone think its worth it to put another bet in here? Doesnt look to get a lot of value, but check calling seems like a pretty bad idea too. Link to post Share on other sites

WeakLead21 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 why is check calling a bad idea here?I guess what I meant was checking opens the door for the Villain to bluff at us, which of course isnt such a bad thing, but a big bet would be tough to call.Maybe thats just me being paranoid Link to post Share on other sites

Unless the villian was calling down with 56 it is unlikely that they have a made hand that doesn't beat yours. You might get value from a busted draw though (clubs or the lone 6). I would likely check here and consider calling a reasonable bet from the opponent, especially if they are the type to bet when shown weakness. Link to post Share on other sites

I bet out on the river originally but after the hand I started to think it wasnt the optimal play.Maybe someday I will actually be able to realize what the best play is during the hand Link to post Share on other sites

Hang in there, you have the right mindset it sounds like. Link to post Share on other sites
