Pot Size: $4.17 ($0.15 Rake)
I've been trying to open my game up a little and raising things like this from LP if it's folded to me. I'm not used to playing with questionable kickers though.
Is this an automatic call on the river with no reads? I think it is, but with no reads I didn't feel like I could be ahead.
I would be calling $1 to win $4. So many hands beat me though.
What do you think of the turn bet btw? I was going to check here, but with 3 to a straight and a flush draw being possible I felt I had to protect my hand more so than getting a cheap showdown -- should I be check/calling instead allowing draws to catch up because my kicker is too gross to put more $ into the pot?
