There are times when it pays to bet big on the river, and there are other times when it makes no sense to bet a single chip. If you do happen to bet in those latter situations, that's what I call bad river money.
This is an excerpt from my September 13, 2013 post. On Monday night, I spent a ton of bad river money on a hand where I'd been dealt pocket queens. I failed to notice that the river card supported a straight. The only reason I didn't hit the rail was because I had more chips at the start of the hand than the opponent who hit the straight had. My stack was crippled, however, and I hit the rail shortly after. Served me right!
