Value betting on the river

[sarbox68]

Was I being a pussy for not value betting the river? Had no read on player to left as had just joined table. Third club was what spooked me....

I'm going to value bet this. A third club doesn't scare me here, if it comes a heart I'm a little more worried but I think you certainly have to try and get some value out of this.

easy value bet. You cant count on villain hitting a runner, runner flush. You need to raise the turn more, im thinking to $.60 so you can get more money in on the river. Value bet $.65 on the river as played.

actually, i dont mind the minraise on the turn here. but, when i see the guy to my left call cold...

you need to ask yourself how much will he call?
what will he raise with?
if he raises, could he be bluffing the flush, if i bet weak on the river?

you need to bet strong enough that if he raises, it means something...not just sensing weakness. but you need to bet small enough he will call with an overpair. imo, about .75.

however, i prolly stack off here, too, because of the runner-runner nature of the board...unless he has shown me he has no regard for pot odds and will chase any flush.

Why would another heart scare you here?

Another heart completes the flush draw and it's a lot more of a reasonable holding for UTG.
