What I've noticed is that many players can't help but try to steal on the river when they miss after calling 2 bets on the flop and turn. I guess it's that old "ya gotta be aggressive" mantra. On a river brick, if OOP I like to check. Often they will try to steal it and give me an additional street of value.

Very rarely they do show up with a slowplayed set or something, but it's more frequently a bluff such that calling is profitable. Even if they do have the goods, check calling is better than if I bet and got raised, then I have a tough decision.

Often on the river, when I have a set but the flush doesn't hit, I check and my opponent makes a big draw)

It is true, many players try to steal the pot when their projects are not completed, that is why in order to make a profitable call you must have many points such as the type of opponent you are facing and the texture of the board, not all are the same.

I noticed that at micro stakes, people absolutely don’t look at the board, and don’t even think a little, I put a mark like that, today I bluffed, well, tomorrow in the same scenario, this person will give me everything, because he doesn’t look at all the board, but only into your cards, don't bluff with liberators, they don't understand this[emoji28]
