Check Call River Bets

[Muxy]

I just check-calling river bets.

Do you guys perfer check calling rather than betting.

I think it has made me sooo much more money at 25nl just in small pots but in some big one. I have an overpair and the flush draw bricks after i throw 2 barrels. the 60/40 just bets the river i call and he shows the busted flush draw.

I think at these limits it works extremly well.

How does it work at 100nl+.

It really depends on the situation.

If I want to play for one bet, sometimes I think check/calling is better (where I have a lot of showdown value but I won't get value from worse hands, but can often induce a bluff), sometimes I think bet/folding is better (when I know the guy has a decent made hand and will check behind his more marginal ones that I beat but will agressively value bet the ones that beat me).

so, 'depends'.
