I see Fnord coming with "This is why I usually bet the river."

But in all seriousness, I insta-clicked this. It was a feeling, I don't get those a lot. I'm trying to decide if it was "goddamnit he sucked out hardcore" or "he's bluffing." Cause once in a while I call those first kind.

Anyway, anyone EVER make this call? Any naked ace wins the pot...

Results in white below:
Hero has Qh Qc (one pair, queens).
Button has Js Ks (high card, king).
Outcome: Hero wins $30.75.
Hero breathes deep sigh of relief.

That action smells of a pocket pair that made his set, but at this buyin, it could also be A8 pairing his 8's. I do everything the same, except the river. I would have placed $5 down as a blocking bet.

Also, in reply to AHiltz, is a set going to bet that river? I doubt it.

[UG]

Yeah, you should bet the river here. He'll let you know if you're beat or not.

The only reason you wouldn't bet the river here is if you wanted to induce a bluff, which is essentially what happened. I only do this when I am super strong, though, and with the way the hand played out I don't think you can assume this. I too, like you, make a crying call here...I'm glad it worked out for you.

I dont see why people run continuation bets against 3 opponents after missing a flop, this is like flushing money down the toilet... but if you'r into that, then by all means.

Tom, I do it on that board. Certainly not any board.

I think with a ten or higher on the board, I'm not repping.

Depends on the table, who's in the pot, and what the action was before me, but I do c-bet flops with multiple callers. You just need to c-bet hard if there's any draws.
