great question. I think I would be close between checking to induce a bluff because I found his turn call suspicious, or I would bet maybe slightly less than the pot size.
the problem with betting the river here is that really there isn't a lot of hands that make sense to call. perhaps he floated with an ace high backdoor flush draw, or he has a pair (like top pair on flop) he doesn't want to drop on the turn. So if I did get value on the river the best way would probably be to just polarize a bit and make him question how often I might be bluffing.
but frankly given all the action here the hands that made the most sense to me going into the river were 45,57,78, or maybe a weirdly played set. and based on that it's overwhelmingly a check even with 33 |
