Title: Limit Poker, Should I bet the river? Post by: Graham C on September 13, 2008, 12:30:10 AM I seem to get in a lot of situations like this where's the obviously not the best board for my Jacks, but on the other hand, it's just been a festival of calling as limit tends to be.
Generally, is there any value in betting the river when it's checked round to me for the 3rd time?

Post by: MC on September 13, 2008, 12:15:57 PM As you're last to act, a lot of players would lead out the river with an 8. A Queen probably pops you on the turn, so a value bet would be good here...
However, I think because it's 4-way a check is okay, especially as 8 is a viable card for the check-call-down-fest. Title: Re: Limit Poker, Should I bet the river?

Agree, i bet because no-one is passing a ten by this stage but yeah sometimes you lose a bet when they have called down an 8. 3 way this would be criminal to check, 4 way its not so bad Title: Re: Limit Poker, Should I bet the river? Post by: GrannyDee on September 14, 2008, 03:53:09 PM I think betting the river is the way to go even 4 handed. In limit holdem I keep pounding until someone gives me a reason not to and the way the hand played out your Jacks are good and you can bet for value on the river expecting a call from a Ten or lower PP.
