| Help Explain/Refute Excerpt from Book The author is explaining how you should adjust your play according to your reads of what type of player your opponent is. As an example in Hold em suppose it is checked to you on the river you hold:AK the board:T-4-2-7-7 The author then goes on to say that if you think your opp. will fold to a bet you should check and that "If the player will not call without a pair, then you cannot gain any value by betting." Don't you gain value if they don't call? Or is the author saying that this is no different than checking because you are going to win anyway if neither of you paired? What if you check and they put the pressure on you and bet? This was confusing to me when I read it. |

| Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like he's saying if your opponent is tight you should check, because he will only call if he has you beat, so you won't gain any value from betting. But a loose opponent may call with KQ, KJ, or AJ, he may call your bet with something that you have beat, but a tight opponent will fold those same hands that the loose opponent will call with. |
