Questionable river fold

[Nietzsche]

CO and button are solid TAGs, UTG is a loose passive.

Pretty bad.

At first I thought he was donking into you, in which case I thought it was a bad fold, but not a stupid one. You really need to call when you check to him.

[Keystone]

This is pretty bad. Your not overcalling and you only have to call one more bet with no one behind you. Your hand seems hopeless but you only have to be good here less than 5% of the time. Looks like CO likely has 44.

obviously u are usually beat, but cant villain have a lower flush (i.e. 86, 56) at least once in 21 times?

I am the only one who folds this PF from MP?

I would fold this preflop unless I was in a game with horrible players who were generally passive, but I didnt want to be a preflop nit

I estimate a lower flush + the idiot factor = a 1.5BB mistake. Usually I will see 44 or a higher flush, sometimes KJ as some TAGs will limp with this after two limpers.

I would never fold here, but whatever. I honestly don't think what you do in this situation is going to impact your winrate in the long run very much...I think it's pretty close either way

Stopped reading when I saw the preflop action. What are u doing?
