River Value Bets (2) - IP vs. Calling Station

by MiiWiin

It
is extremely important to value bet a lot, especially against loose passive players it. However, there are spots where even such a player will hardly find a weaker range to call with. They will simply call down stronger hands in way ahead - way behind mode too often.

Today you will be judging some of these spots.

Good luck!
