I don't see much value in betting here this early. Just check behind imo

[boldie]

just check it here..nothing you beat should be calling you anyways.

[gatso]

check behind 100% of the time here. the only possible holding that might call that you are beating is AT. everything else that calls beats you, everything else that you beat folds.

[Ironside]

thanks i did check he turned over 9t

wasnt sure if had called that far if i could of gotten another bet out of him

[MC]

I agree with the check behind. Value bet 2 pair obv, but AJ just a little light here..

[Royal Flush]

I deffo VB here, what better hand checks the river?

what do you mean "should"

the whole point of playing poker is to exploit players that do things that htey shouldn't do!  I'd vrey happily bet this river and ecxpect to get called by whatever junk they got to the river with. You as a poker player want to make money by letting your oppo's make mistakes. Dont check and forbid them that chance!

[Ironside]

if you bet and get raised?

Fold, if he's bluffed you so be it, but your beating very little...

what worse hands call your vb?

The random 9x hands he has like K9 Q9 J9 etc


It's a freeroll not a 1k event

[gatso]

It's a freeroll not a 1k event

yeah, fair point

[NoflopsHomer]

If random 2nd/3rd pair hands haven't folded thus far, they probably won't fold here.
