River Betting in Texas Hold ‘Em

The 2007 California Poker Players Conference may be over, but you can still get valuable information from the 2007 presenters. Mike Caro interviewed many of the presenters prior to the the conference and those interviews are now available.
 
One interview is with Lou Krieger, winning poker player and author. He told Mike the strategy to betting on the river in Hold ‘Em. Far too many players in fixed limit hold ‘em games leave money on table, because they fail to bet the river with a good, but not great hand.  
 
If a player has an unbeatable hand or close to it, they will bet on the river and collect the calls from other players. But, if a player has a typical or average hand, maybe a top pair with a good kicker, they will bet on the flop, bet on the turn, and check on the river. They are leaving money on the table by doing that.
 
If your opponent has better hand, he is likely going to check raise you on the turn rather than waiting for river to make a play. If river card doesn’t look to help anyone out and you had the best hand on the turn, most likely you’ve got the best hand on the river. Go ahead and bet it. All the doubters will call, and you should win much more than checking the river down.

Get the Flexible Mindset that Will Make You a Winner!

Today's youth have greatly changed the face of poker in more ways than one, not the least of which is that on average young players come to the table more analytically sound than the average player just five years ago. So whether you're a newbie or a seasoned veteran of the game, you've got to keep up with what these "kids" are bringing to the table, or their book learnin' could just trump your Ace and Eights.
 
Tony Guerrera may be young, but he's still a player to be reckoned with, and an authority to be learned from. Tony's written countless published articles on poker strategy, and hosts the "Killer Poker Analysis" Internet radio show. He's also the author of two books; "Killer Poker By The Numbers"and co-author of "Killer Poker Shorthanded" with John Vorhaus. When he's not writing or working on his show, he coaches players about how to optimize their hourly win rate, so make sure to ask him about that when you see him at the Conference..
 
In his presentation at the California Poker Players Conference, Tony is going to talk about this sea tide of change, and tell you exactly what you need to do to thrive in today's poker playing climate. You'll learn how to combine a strong theoretical foundation with a flexible mindset, so you can stay ahead of the curve (and your younger opponents) as poker continues to evolve.
 
Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity! Join us at the CPPC this weekend – October 20th and 21st.
