I guess if he had anything, I had a chance to get some of his stack on the turn if I bet. You figure the second line is more profitable?
Since villain called your raise, his likely range is [flush draw, one pair, or Broadway straight draw] so a lot of cards on the river can improve his hand and there is a higher chance of him willing to put chips on the river than on the 9 turn.
GTA Poker;357922 wroteOf course you have to bet the turn, checking behind and firing the river turns your hand face up.
At live 1/2, villain wouldn't know your hand "face up" even if you flashed both cards because he's too clueless to be even looking at you!
Another interesting thing I've noticed at rooms with a BBJ is that some players don't value bet their strong hands if there is a one in sangkatutak-trillion chance that both players may end up with BBJ hands at showdown. In this case, a "BBJ pro" would check his quads all the way to the river on the faint hope that the other player may have a straight flush draw and hit a one-outer. Some players don't want to auto-chop because of the BBJ in case they have AA vs. KK in the blinds. By the way, the BBJ at Fallsview is currently $74,000.
