Won’t bet much with top pair but will call just about any amount.



What have you noticed?

Yes, splitting the bank on the same pair is undesirable

It is not enough to define the opponent from the categories of statistics, it is necessary to observe his game and demeanor, and only after that draw conclusions. Players of this style will stubbornly call all your bets to the end, even when they have nothing at all, clinging to the younger pair or weak draw. It makes no sense to bluff against such players, since they rarely fold, but with a good hand made, you need to constantly bet-raise-reraise, and they often call even bets much larger than the size of the pot itself.

There are different types of players and in a given situation they behave differently.

It's the fearful villain that can complicate other players' lives if given the chance to be curious and post-flop cards.

I noticed that the average player comes to the river and on the river is afraid of a big bet and folds a strong hand

In most defiinitions of "Average" it means in the middle. So better than 50% and worse than 50%. The comments above mainly seem to be desparaging. I think your average player has plenty of experience but hasn't read any poker books.

"average" player to discuss should refer to a certain buy-in level or do you mean the average Cardschat freeroller ;) ?

Does it really surprise you that the average player in freerolls does not like to laydown top pair?
