    Default Bet this river?

    PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    Here UTG is an unkown, Button is a fish (40/4/0.25), SB is a fish (48/3/0) and the BB is fairly solid (28/9/2). The SB does do some sneaky stuff on the river though, check raising trips/straights a few times that I saw.

    Preflop: Hero is MP with , .
    UTG calls, Hero raises, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

    Flop: (10 SB) , , (5 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets, Hero raises, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds, UTG calls.

    Turn: (8 BB) (3 players)
    SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, SB calls, UTG calls.

    River: (11 BB) (3 players)
    SB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks.

    Final Pot: 11 BB

    Well, he cold called two bets after checking the flop. His most likely hand is a diamond flush draw. He will probably fold the river anyway. UTG probably has a weaker A like AJ or A10 so you will likely get a call out of him.
    So I would bet the river although you only lost one bet instead of two.

    Phyto,
    What is your stars screenname? I play a reasonable amount of 1/2. Do you have me tracked?

    My estimate is the same as Growlers'. Bet/call any re-raise.

    I realise that the pot is big enough that you only have to win abotu 10% time so you should call. But I would hate to have him suddenly raise he. Although for the life of me I couldn't put him on a hand he could check raise the river and beat me.

    My screename is Phytopath, if yours is Growlers then I don't have you tracked. I was playing 1/2 full but I just couldn't seem to win at a good clip so I switched to short and well I have been running extremely well and I feel like I am playing better in 6 max games.


    In this hand the SB flipped over a 34, for the flopped wheel. Obviously based on the way he played it I can't put him on that . Typically I do bet this river, at this level though I see about 50% of the rivers check-raised and still don't see why people do that.

    Not saying I knew I was beat or anything , I was suspcious but mostly due to the 5 falling and calling me down with 59 or something I could certainly see happening.
