    Preflop
    Villain raises to $1.5 (UTG) Miff (button) reraises to $4.5, Villain calls.

    Flop
    :Js: :Ts:
    Villain checks, Miff bets $8, Villain calls $8

    check behind on river?

    turn card is very scary, and you should probably just show this down.

    why did u bet less on the river than on the turn, to try to initiate a bluff, because your bet shows weakness

    Hmm.. I'm only calling this reraise and I'm not even sure I'd lead out with a bet on the river. Probably check/call here.

    However, your play can be fine with a read but without one it's just a call no? Any flush or silly gappers could have you in a tough spot. I can't think of any hand that you beat that a decent villain would 3-pop you on river with either than a missed draw, in which case you're getting the most value by calling anyway.

    Maybe explain your thought process?

    Default Ugh

    Ugh I misread the hand. Didn't notice your position and that he checked it to you on river. That does indeed change everything. Your river bet is interesting because it's screaming weak. I still just call the reraise though.

    But I take back the check/call crap I said.

    river bet is value not weak.
    Consider my point, villain raises preflop. $1.5 is his standard raise so could be anything from a pp to AQ.
    Yes, the flush completes on the turn but i reraised preflop so opp has to have a fairly limited range, not any two but not so tight as to just be AA-TT either.
    Opp has called me down on a flop and turn that probably didnt hit me that great with AK/AQ or AA-QQ it hit JJ-Tt though. Thus when we get to the river, if opp has anything but the flush hes going to c/r me so thats why i pushed, the only thing i dont beat that would call me down is a flush which i couldnt put my opp on. I could very much put him on a set of 8s or tens here or even AA-QQ.
    My question is, what actually beats me here that i dont value push the river with? I beat anythong that beats my perceived range or AA-QQ here.

    Btw my turn bet was to not alow a free card/kill odds of opp possibly drawing to a 4flush high card and also to control the pot. If i'd checked here and opp just open pushed the river i have to fold, something im not doing.

    To me, his line says trip 8's, trip T's or...a big flush (Ajs/AQs). Given his looseness, I call this. But, hey, I don't like to fold much on the river.

    This is exactlymy line of thinking, id be interested in how the math figures out im up against a flush here and the ev. I think my push is good value but thats my opinion.
