Message: [QUOTE="Hermus, post: 6283039, member: 346197"] Against a player that open limps on the button, it probably doesn't matter a lot. Checking and leading out are probably close in terms of EV on both the flop and the turn. Against loose passive players I'm more likely to lead than to check, but in either case it's a judgement call. You kinda answered your own question here. To shove or not to shove the river. Against players that call any amount with a straight or a flush, you obviously want to get the money in. Considering this particular player ended up calling with the worst possible straight, getting the money in was very much the right call. You're obviously asking if this play is generally applicable, and I would say yes. Especially in the micro's people have a hard time laying down straights and flushes even on paired boards. If you're playing deeper, you might even get away with massive overbets in similar situations but with larger SPRs. [/QUOTE]
