Bet The River

© COPYRIGHT 2006 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED



I didn't play a whole lot over the weekend, due to having some nice weather, doing some yard work and having some social commitments. Fortunately, I did end up with some pretty good results at $2/4 LHE and over 432 hands, I ended up with a profit of $144 at Poker Stars and Poker Syndicate.



For the moment, I seemed to have solved the Poker Syndicate problem, where I did book a profit of $75 over 336 hands. Heck, I even was dealt AA three times over the weekend. I didn't win much with them, though. I ended up folding out the field preflop twice and splitting a pot with a wheel on the third. I'm pretty sure that I am the only person alive that can get those loose gooses at Poker Syndicate to not take a flop with me when I am dealt AA. That made three times for the week. (LOL)



Bet The River?

In the hand below, I am playing at Poker Syndicate (full of weak, loose players) and I have never played with my river opponent. Would you bet the river and why (or why not)?
