River Value & Bluff Selection

Lesson 10 · Sizing value, picking bluffs · 24 practice questions

River value

Bet hands that beat >50% of villain's calling range. Size up vs inelastic callers (they call same with top pair or two pair).

Bluff selection

Bluff with blockers to nuts (e.g. Ah on three-heart board). Avoid bluffing into calling stations.

Over-bluffing loses

Each bluff needs enough fold equity. If villain's range is mostly strong, bluff less.

Key takeaways

• Thin value gets called by worse — size to target those hands.
• Pick bluffs from missed draws that block calls / unblock folds.
• Balance value-to-bluff to your bet size to stay unexploitable.

FAQ

How do you size a river value bet?

Size to the worse hands that will call. Thin value wants a smaller bet that gets called by more marginal hands; a strong, polarized range can bet big or overbet.

How many bluffs should you have on the river?

Balance bluffs to value by bet size: a pot-sized bet mixes roughly one bluff for every two value hands, and bigger bets need fewer bluffs. Pick bluffs that block the opponent’s calls.
