Poker – Calling Two Bets On The River
July 25th, 2009
The question here is whether or not you should call on the river when calling costs you two big bets. In general, when you have to call two bets (someone bets and then someone else raises) on the river in a Hold'em pot, it's a good idea to fold. Usually, the only hands that you can beat on the end, when it costs you two bets just to call, are bluffs. You will rarely see an experienced player bluff raise on the river in low-limit Hold'em! It's just not a very profitable play. To return to a familiar example: let's assume that the hand has been played out among Jim, Jerry, and you, as detailed above. When Jerry bets out into 0-0-0-0-0 and Jim raises, it's a good idea to exit stage left with your modest little J-J.
If the last card is 0, leaving 0-0-0-0-0, and, as before, Jerry bets out and Jim raises, then get out of that one too. Even though 0 seems a harmless card, all you can really beat here is a bluff by both players. Is it really possible that both Jerry and Jim are bluffing? I don't think so! (If you want another reason to fold this hand, suppose now that you call, and Jerry really has the goods, something like A-6, and reraises! Now what are you going to do?
