Check Or Bet the Nutz

[bishking]

I'll usually check unless there's a draw on the board.

Yeah I agree more playing tight can get you run over by the table.

It depends completely on your table. If you have some aggros, especially if they were on a draw and missed, either check or bet small. If it's a tight table, bet the amount you think they'll call - enough to get some value, but low enough that they'll say "I'm probably beat, but for that amount I'll look him up"

It depends on a lot of factors. The line you have been playing, did you flop the nuts or did you river it? Have you and the villain checked it down to the river or has there been a lot of action. Is the river a potential cooler for the villain? What is the villains image and what is your image? What are your EVs? How much information do you have on the villain in terms of his current hand and how he plays other hands? Just a lot of poker involved in this question in terms of trying to maximize value

If I had to go for a straight answer though, in the long run online you're likely to get more from a well-sized bet over checking unless you are playing with a lot of more experienced players who will think on 1 or 2 levels above the average joe on the internet. At that point, it's a different game in my opinion.

All depends on my position.No one calls or raises before me i calls before me i check and hope so one else raises then i ride it out and slam the door on the river

[mikey4141]

yea ur suppost to check with no draw on the board!

[mikey4141]

Only problem is they always hit runner runner on me!

[brokenlung911]

well depends on players and poker software if someone is betting and u where just calling then check see if they will bet again

[SubZero99]

It really depends

[Rackinitin]

in a real tournament if you know for sure you have the nuts if you check the river card you will lose because its a rule that you have to bet the nuts
