Give Me Three Minutes and I'll Make You a Better Bluffer

Let's say it checks to you on the river. In general, you should be:

1. Value betting with your best hands.
2. Checking with your medium-strength hands.
3. Bluffing with your worst hands.

If you bluff with a medium-strength hand, that's wasting its showdown value. Does that make sense?

Yes, this makes perfect sense. I try not to overplay hands on the river in spot #2.
