Message: [QUOTE="ChuckTs, post: 394264, member: 467"] (I realize this was old, but still want to input) Ive been reading Phil Hellmuth's [I]Texas Holdem[/I] and basically his approach to river play is this: If you've gotten yourself all the way to the river, then you [I]should[/I] have a decent holding, unless you've missed a draw of course. But generally there shouldn't be too many hands that can beat you; so making a call is often the right action. As you get more advanced, and are able to pin your opponents on certain hands, then you can be 95% sure or more that you're opponent has you beat, and [I]then [/I]you can make the skillful laydowns; but essentially his approach is if you are a beginner - advanced player, a call is often the best option. (as a begginner, you might only be %80 sure that you're ahead, and should therefore call roughly 4/5 times) [/QUOTE]
