Im going to continue going off on a tangent because it is drunken rant time again. It doesnt make sense to ever EVER snapcall a river checkraise without the nuts or very close to it- when you quickly call you are giving your opponent way way way way way too much insight into your thought process. you always want to leave your opponent guessing about the way you think of 'tough' river spots and about how you think he plays. If i make a "bad" bluff against someone on the river and they quickly call with something toward the bottom of their range I just come away from the hand thinking, lol what a retard. This isn't because I think they should have folded to my raise because of the way my range interacts with theirs in the spot, or because I think they have a pedestrian grasp of handreading or game dynamics, but because they have just given me a ton of information just hoping to make me feel owned or because they were excited to follow through on a read that they shouldnt be giving me any clues about. professional poker is not about showing off how much you own someones soul; take your time with river actions and dont give anything away
