First sorry about not having the hand converter for the hand. Im on the button with 9 /images/graemlins/club.gif10 /images/graemlins/heart.gifand after one limp the CO raises to $1. I call, sb calls, bb calls, and utg calls. Flop is 10 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif.....checked around to me and i bet $4 into $5 pot......CO is only caller....turn is Q /images/graemlins/club.gif CO bets $5.25 into $13 pot HERO????

also stacks are about $40 each for Hero and Villain

pretty clear you are beat unless hes the bluffing type. He might have Qx diamonds or something. you could call but folding is better imo. alot of rivers suck even worse.

what hands are you putting him on....im thinking pocket pair from 88-AA

[larry the legend]

i couldnt tell if his bet was from strength or some kind of blocker with KK or AA so i called turn and river is 2clubs....Villain checks Hero???? pot is somewhere around $23

[ahnuld]

check behind.... not much worse can call you

[larry the legend]

after the small turn bet and river check i thought probably 88-1010 or KK-AA....is a value bet of $10 large -EV here....immediately after i made it i felt it was a bad bet....however villain waited almost 10 seconds before calling with QJ offsuit...how bad did i play? was villain playing with me or was he as confused with my river bet as i was with his turn bet??
