Showdown



Some of you may be confused about how I'm describing the "free showdown." I'm not even sure if I am using the correct term. In SSH it mentions the "cheap showdown." This is when you use the free card play, and plan to check behind on the river again if you miss.

I'm describing the "free showdown" as betting/raising the flop, so they check to you on the turn, where you bet again. So this will induce them to check yet again to you on the river, when THEN you can check behind for a "free" showdown.

I personally don't like the cheap showdown because it feels ackwardly weak. It does have it's uses, but I think even betting on the turn with overcards is often still a value bet, and thus you are making the correct move by betting because you have the current best hand.
