Message: [QUOTE="Jesus Lederer, post: 350596, member: 3283"] I didn´t talk about if you think you´re beat, because maybe you can have K high but you think your opponent has something like low pair and you can try to bluff. I´m talking that there´s no point in betting with medium strenght ...sorry...medium strength hands. You may think there that you´re the winner or maybe the loser. With a medium strength hand you´re quite unsure of were are you standing, and that´s why you shouldn´t bet in the river. Because if you´re the winner you will obtain the same by checking or betting, and if you´re the loser you will lose nothing if you check but you can lose something if you bet. You´re right. And that´s why the type of game and the position is important on these strategies. If you realized i assumed that if you check and your opponent holds a weak hand he will also check, but that doesn´t happen all the time. The bluff is an option so you have to be careful. As you said, folding in the river with a medium strength hand maybe is not the correct option (if you have serious doubt about your opponent´s hand), because you have the chance of winning and also if you lose you can obtain information from your opponent. You´re right. If you´re playing at low limits you can see lots of players calling in the river with crap, so against those players the correct option would be the bet. But you have to realize if the player you´re against is a calling station or is an aggressive maniac. If it´s a calling station station, bet. If it´s an aggressive maniac, check (in hope of him bluffing). No, the competion is "best poster of the month". Anyway i´m not trying to win that, i wrote this because i think i would be interesting (which is obviously not). And even if i try i don´t think i would win it (my last two threads had been a disaster). p.s: There are lots of situations depending of the position and kind of game, so try to add some. [/QUOTE]
