 Betting on the end when no one will call, Easy E, 7. May 2003 09:47 | ||

| Something I was musing about: If you have the nut hand (in this case, assume it came on the end and is a hidden hand- such as a smaller straight, or trips) and you are 100% sure that no one will call if you bet.... Should you ever bet? If the answer is no bet, do you gain more by checking and showing your winner, versus betting and not showing? Or betting and showing? If you bet the hand, is it MANDATORY for you to show your hand? (from a strategy sense, not a "playing rules" sense) | ||

| Hmmm. Well if you knew for sure that no-one would call, then the money you are going to make is going to be the same no matter what. So at that point I would imagine it would be highly situationally dependent. It would just depend on what kind of table image you were trying to present at that time... | ||

| I think this goes back to the type of player that is still in the hand. Sklansky talks extensively about heads up at the end in TTOP. I don't think you can ever be 100% sure that no one will call. Likewise, checking may induce a bluff from someone. It's all about knowing your opponent. | ||

| You might consider betting on the end and not showing if you think you played the flop or turn badly, or if you had a big pair that made a set on the river. In these cases you would be better off not having it checked around if you made the last action on the previous street. There would be some value in having to show a lucky nut straight with mediocre cards off of a semibluff bet on the turn. Your most obvious course of action would be to play for a checkraise anyway. Someone just might want to try and steal. | ||

| If I were to bet the hand on the river and knowone had called me, I definitely wouldn't have shown it, either. I'd rather the whole table think that I was bluffing rather than to show my hand giving them information on to how I actually played it from beginning to end. If I knew for a fact that knowone would call my bet (100%), than of course I wouldn't bet the river, I'd try to induce a bluff. (noone can call you if they don't have anything, but they "Certainly" can bet to try and bluff at the pot, too! 4 POKER | ||

| If you are last to act and you are holding the nuts, then bet nomatter what. You can never be 100% sure that somebody won't decide to "keep you honest" ... and you are better off not showing your cards because you folded everybody - then maybe next time somebody will keep you honest and pay you off. | ||
