Flop Analysis
Checking back on this paired, low board controls the pot and realizes equity with overcards and backdoor flush potential.
When rivering a full house in position against a checked opponent, bet for value rather than checking behind.
Checking back on this paired, low board controls the pot and realizes equity with overcards and backdoor flush potential.
While calling is positive EV, folding is preferred at high frequency because our Ace-high has no additional draw equity on trips boards.
Checking behind here is a major missed opportunity. Rivering tens full gives us a monster that crushes the vast majority of the Small Blind's continuing range. **Ranges:** SB's check caps their range significantly, containing missed floats and pocket pairs like 66, 77, and 99 that turned underfulls or pairs looking to showdown. Our full house has 90% equity and comfortably dominates that distribution. **Sizing:** Sizing between two-thirds pot and an overbet extracts maximum value from stubborn pairs and Ace-high holdings that feel priced in. Checking loses substantial EV against hands that gladly call a bet. --- > **Takeaway:** Never check back the near-nuts in position on the river when your opponent's range can call with worse made hands.
Note: Missed a mandatory value bet with a full house on the river after villain checked.
