Value Betting is an important aspect to the game of poker. You can not maximize your profits if you do not value bet the best hand on the river. But many of you are asking, how do you know you have the best hand?
Well this is were your reading ability and judgement skills come into effect. If you are in position and it is checked to you on the river, then chances are you probably have the best hand if you have a hand thats not total air, say minimum top pair. In this situation I would bet out a quarter of the pot. If you get raised your probably losing so let your hand go.
By value betting on the river you ensure that you extract another bet from that player at a show down on the river. Many bad players will even pay you off with bottom pair if they think you are bluffing. Thats why it is important to value bet the river whenever you think you have the best hand, even if it is only one pair.
