Risk-free river bet

On Wednesday night, I won a monster pot on a risk-free river bet. You seldom see such things in poker. As a matter of fact, I didn't actually do the mental calculations to prove to myself that the bet was risk-free; however, I knew it all the same, deep down in my poker bones. Here's how it went down:

Table 'Lynx XI' 9-max (Play Money) Seat #9 is the button
Seat 2: (11200 in chips)
Seat 3: (49766 in chips)

Seat 3: shows [2c 2d] (three of a kind, Deuces)
neostreet collected 80890 from side pot
Seat 4: shows [Qc 9c] (a pair of Queens)

  1. Hey Neo,
    You should look to only see about 20% of flops. Any more and you are playing too loose. I don't mind the limp behind with A7s, but if it folded to you, you should definitely raise to 3bb. Good luck
    Thanks,
    Al
