The other big advantage of c-calling the river is you may not go broke vs this hand, whereas if you lead you certainly will.

Lead/folding is fine. You lose less vs a straight which will usually bet more than we will on the river if we check.

you also make nothing v bluffs which is gonna be at least 50% of his range. Obv ur not calling a massive bet in this spot as there is no need. Not intending to level myself and call a shove.

lol Alex people don't bluff these spots, ever!

rly? maybe im out of touch. i think check call and let him value cut himself/bluff is deffo bett than other options though.

It's 25/50 and the guy calls 320 from 2.1k chasing a straight draw

Because it looks like we have a hand so is not a bad idea to call 320 because lots of mugs stack the river.

You think? Exactly half the 8 outs he's chasing make a flush...and would be an action killer anyway. Thats very obvious for this guy to see. Is he gonna be so confident about this calling turn to stack river strat when the flush hits? The action would prob be bet call if the  dropped on the river and you lead, so that strat would have big obvious holes in it. He's just chasing his draw without thought imo. That draw could be clubs, a straight, and I wouldn't be shocked to see hands like A-K in there as well. So if this guy is in fact just bad he would readily bet a lot of his missed hands without thought when you checked to him on the river. Hands he would've folded if you bet.

Its not that they NEVER bluff, but it has to be a tendancy that is prevalent in a fair % of players in order to justify calling. Sure, sometimes people will bluff the river, and will steal the pot, but similarly, you cant justify calling on the basis that a smalll % of poker players might or might not bluff in these spots. Its the frequency of which an action might occur that should be the important factor.

That was a good post cos I never thought about not calling after checking. Like I said, if he's bad no doubt he can bet just cos you checked and he missed. But what if he's a good player? That good player can call the turn in this situation knowing any one of 30 cards complete a very obvious draw. Floating the turn to represent almost any card would be the actions of a good player. So obv he will be calling the turn to bluff almost 100% of the time with his e.g. 2-2. Man, that would be good poker and you would feel all pwned and dirty if you c-fold. So while that c-fold option looked good at first I think there's too many different types of players who can and will bluff for lots of different reasons to think about c-folding to one bet. Unless that bet is all-in I suppose. If the guy v-bets good on the river there's no shame in paying him imo.

Intersting thread... my initial thought was bet/fold.... but I just cant see any worse hands we get value from by betting....  check/calling is really player dependant I think.. Not every missed fd will bet here, and I would think the majority of villians betting range on the river is for value.. You might get taken off the best hand occasionally but without a read I think check/fold is best

Think Totalise got it nailed in his response
