If you led throughout the hand, meaning you always bet and the others called, keep betting unless a scare card appears (an overcard to your hand or a card that appears to complete someone else's straight or flush). If this happens, check. You do not want your bet raised by someone who has outdrawn you. Use your judgment on calling bets. If your opponent only bets on the end with the best hand, don't throw money away to "keep him honest." Money saved is money won. Sometimes in the last round of betting, you know exactly how you stand. If you have the nuts, bet, or if possible, raise. If you missed a draw, cut your losses and fold. An inevitable part of poker is the bad beat. You have the best hand all the way. Only one or two cards in the deck can beat you and at the river, one of them appears. Most often this happens when someone keeps a little pair in the pocket (such as 3, 3) and calls all your bets and raises on your top two pair (even though they do not have the correct pot odds). At the river a 3 appears, a card that looks harmless but beats you. Nothing can be done about bad beats. You cannot hesitate to bet when you have a strong hand, nor can you start playing for improbable draws yourself. Bad beats are part of the normal statistical fluctuations in the game. Your play must be geared towards the long-term trends, not the fluctuations. Scenario 7- You are in an early position holding A♣ 10♦, and the board is K♣ Q♠ J♣ 3♦ 7♥. You hold the nuts. Your Ace-high straight cannot be beat since no flushes or boats can be formed from this board. Not wanting to scare people out of the pot, you check and then everyone else checks as well. You win at showdown. It is rarely correct to check with the nuts. You should usually bet. If no one calls, it is the same result as everyone checking. By betting, you force your opponents to make decisions. Give your opponents opportunities to make mistakes. Scenario 8- You are in an early position, holding Q♣, J♦, and at the turn, the board is 3♣ Q♦ J♣ 3♥. You bet and one player calls. The river card is an A♣. You bet again but this time your opponent raises. You call the raise and find that your opponent held A♦ K♥. Your Queens and Jacks 10ses to Aces and threes. The appearance of an overcard on the river should make you cautious, especially when the card is an Ace or King. People tend to hold on to Aces and Kings. In this situation, anyone holding an Ace beats you. Always ask yourself why your opponent is staying for the river card. For this board, the A♦ K♥ hand had ten outs. If any of the three remaining Aces, three remaining Kings, or four remaining 10's appears at the river, you 10se. Summary of Play at the River
