    Nope , i don't think anything we beat is calling us here , so not much value in betting. Maybe if we think we can fold a straight but i doubt it.

    Am I betting the river?

    Have I smoked crack first?
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    Remember, its only worth value betting the river if you believe there are more worse hands that will call you than better ones. Its hard to see any worse hands calling here, so a check behind is good. Anything else and we're basically turning our hand into a bluff, and why do that when we have a hand with good showdown potential?
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    Also - how much would you be willing call on the river after the checked turn?
