Question
In your six-max game online, under the gun folds and Player 2 raises to $7. It's folded to you in the big blind and you call. The flop comes 6
3
10
. You check and your opponent bets $10. You call and the turn is the 7
. You check and again your opponent fires, this time $22. You call and the river comes 9
.
How should you get the most value?
Correct Answer: Check-raise
If your opponent had been bluffing for two streets, he will likely follow it up on the river with a third barrel that he would fold to if you bet. Also if he does have a hand like an overpair, he most likely will not check behind on the river but instead try and bet for value. Either way there is a small likelihood the river will get checked through. So check and plan to raise on his river bet.
