Check back makes this hand very easy to play on river
I donβt think weβre always folding if they lead. Would be very size dependant.
Thatβs why I think checking turn makes River easy to play, theyβll be very face up when they are acting first
If weβre always folding to a bet on the river and thatβs correct, it means villains river betting range is super nutted, which means theyβre checking to us too often with a range of junk and marginal hands we beat.
If theyβre virtually never bluffing river, theyβre certainly never check raise bluffing river, so you get to bet for thin value , and on top of that all kinds of marginal junk in our turn check back range gets to win too often when river goes check check.
Easy game.
Ok, Turn we checked back

Hero???
We beat bluffs only now.
4 way pot on the flop: just fold river.
I go bigger on the fop and I follow through on the turn. On river, we are probably chopping at best -- fold is fine.
We need to be right only 25% of the time to a river b50. A King on A656K might think they chop with all other Kings & throw a bet out now. Ofc, V has flushes, 6x, and other Ax H now chops with, but needing only 25%, I'm calling.
What Omaha said, too.
Easy call vs ~1/2 pot.
River is a call. Turn is a super standard check. Flop sizing is fine.
