How Thin Can You Shave a Value Bet?

With 5,200 chips in the pot preflop, Johnny Lodden took a heads-up flop of {J-Hearts} {4-Spades} {4-Hearts}. He was out of position and check-called a bet of 3,200 from his opponent. Both players checked when a third heart the {7-Hearts} hit the turn.

The river double-paired the board by falling {J-Clubs}. Lodden led out for 2,125 into a pot of 11,600. His opponent called and mucked when Lodden showed down {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}.

Lodden's up to 42,000.
