I run out of steam on the river! I feel like I've had to bet flop and turn because of flush draw potential (one-card draws in the case of the turn bet) but I'm not sure I want to play for a bigger pot than the one that ends up being built by the river, so I check. Who that I can actually beat gets this far and then calls a bet on the river, anyway? Ace of clubs with a queen?

Do you keep betting?

PS My only info on BTN is that I lost a bit of money to him one orbit previously when I reacted aggressively to a "blind steal" of his which turned out to be AA :O

Hello MrMauve,

Rather bet the turn bigger than induce any kind of bluffs. Such a sizing may easily even induce bluffs. I'd most likely do ~$1 and Bet/Fold it. But otherwise seems to be fine, what was your plan on the river?

Best Regards.
