    Default Ever fold this overpair on the river?

    15/5.6/6 over 70 hands.

    Full Tilt Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $2/$4
    5 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $464
    CO: $499
    Button: $440
    Hero: $507.60
    BB: $425

    Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is SB with Q Q
    UTG folds, CO calls, Button folds, Hero raises to $18, BB folds, CO calls.

    Flop: J 9 5 ($40, 2 players)
    Hero bets $26, CO calls.

    Turn: 7 ($92, 2 players)
    Hero bets $60, CO calls.

    River: 9 ($212, 2 players)
    Hero checks, CO bets $135, Hero calls.


    Flop and turn were instant calls, and river took him awhile to bet.
    Ever folding this river? Ever betting instead of checking?

    Don't instant calls generally suggest draws? I don't see a guy with his stats limp-calling with 8T so I'd say you're almost always good against a missed flush draw.

    And no don't bet here. You want to induce this bluff.

    That's why we play the hand like we did. So the times when we're more likely ahead we get a little extra money out of an induced bluff to help offset the times when we do get sucked out on by one of these bozos.
