Subject: Should I have tried a river bluff here? (bahh)


I was very confident the other guy had king-rag. The river options
were to check and hope my rag beat his rag, or to try and bluff
him off it. He showed on the turn that he was willing to call 2/3
pot with it, so I would have had to bet at least $5 here, and didn't
have the guts :)

The presence of the all-in player complicated things too.

It isn't much of an exageration to say that nobody ever folds top pair online.

You weren't gonna get him off that K7. I think a river bluff would have
blown up in your face when he called. If he wasn't frightened of
probable top two pair (or a set of Js on the turn) he wasn't gonna quit
for anything.
