Betting or Calling to Chop a Pot

Author: Texas Holdem

Hi,

If I remember it right you once said that betting or calling to chop a pot is normally not advisable however in some cases is also possible like when the board has something silly like AAA QQ and in the pot is quite a bit of money. I fairly understand what you are trying to imply but it would be much better if you still explain it to me further.

I’ll be glad to hear from you soon.

Thanks and keep up the work on this site!

Gelo,

When it is apparent that the pot is going to be chopped, you should call a bet at the end. It is almost silly to bet unless the board has a straight or flush that could yield to a higher straight depending on a persons hole cards. For example, if the board is 6-7-8-9-10, then you may want to be to represent a J. Otherwise, just check or check and call on the river.
