Thin value: A thin value bet is a bet with a hand that is only slightly ahead of the range of hands that will call, often a medium pair on the river.

Thin value is where a lot of profit hides, because many players check good-but-not-great hands. The bet only works if worse hands call often enough. Against players who rarely call with worse, or who check-raise as a bluff, thin value bets can lose chips.
Example: You hold K♠ 9♠ on K♥ 8♦ 5♣ 3♠ 2♥. You bet small on the river, expecting calls from weaker kings and pairs like 8-x.
