    Default Should I bet this river for any value?

    After his turn on the turn I'm ready to shut this down. Then I hit a straight on the river, so I decide to check/call a reasonable river bet. How much can I bet for value here? $1? Would two pair or a set call here? I don't think this is too bad, I'd have to fold if he came over the top. Basically if he bets 1/2 pot here I will payoff a flush. I don't see 2 pair of set bluffing me off here to often anyway.

    Lol, sometimes I get nitty when I'm drinking. Actually when I posted this hand I thought I was reading 4 clubs on the board. Yeah, any two pair/set is calling 1/2 pot on river.


    Pretty sure when I actually played this hand I was looking to c/r on the river.

    A river check/raise is bad here and allows him to 3-bet with hands that beat you.
