    Default Would you bet this river?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

    MP2 ($1.90)
    Hero ($5.93)
    CO ($4.18)
    Button ($3.21)
    SB ($1.70)
    BB ($4)
    UTG ($2.75)
    UTG+1 ($12.64)
    MP1 ($1.94)

    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with , .
    4 folds, Hero calls $0.05, CO raises to $0.1, 2 folds, BB calls $0.05, Hero calls $0.05.

    Flop: ($0.32) , , (3 players)

    Turn: ($0.32) (3 players)

    River: ($0.92) (3 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $0.05, CO folds, BB calls $0.05.



    For the record, this was supposed to be a $0.50 bet but I guess my fingers slipped when I was entering it.



    Final Pot: $1.02

    Results in white below:
    BB has Kh Th (one pair, kings).
    Hero has Qh Ks (two pair, kings and queens).
    Outcome: Hero wins $1.02.

    Ya, I figured that's what everyone would say.
    Had I been in last position or had known that the CO was going to check/fold then I obviously would have just checked. I just thought it would be hard for anyone else to call unless they were holding the A or the J. I didn't think anyone was holding the A of diamonds since they would probably have bet the flop so I took a gamble and bet out.

    Honestly, I just hate calling. Had I checked and the CO bet out, I would have been put into a tough stop and would have had to fold.

    I just read an excerpt from Greenstein's Ace on the River and he says if you can't raise into an unopened pot with the hand your dealt, then fold. As for me, Yeah I would raise that hand. If someone behind me has a better hand, then they are likely to tell me by raising. Could I call, sure, but only if I was looking to CR and I was sure someone behind me was going to bet. Do I like the hand? From MP, sure I will play it more often than not, but of course it can be dominated.

    Yeah, a PF raise would be ok... decent enough fold equity there.

    And I'm not sure you can play that river any worse....
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.
