A river raise/fold?
 

I'm in a "I hate poker" mood right now.

Fold is really bad imo.

Raise is close, but I'd just call.

turn check was to induce a river bet from any hand he may hold.

the fold is just terrible, you never have an ace here and he knows it.

I like the turn check.

I think the river raise is ok but CALL

Re: A river raise/fold?
 

so a raise/call?

Ya the game's playing tricks on my mind. Everytime I call down I lose. I know it's how she goes.

BB could easily split the pot with you. This is a bad fold. I'm not sure I'd even bother raising the river here.

I figured as much. But what's he peeling the flop with? Total air? No it's probably a pair or an A most of the time. Occasionally a megafish with QJ or some crap, but usually a pair. So just bet the turn and get called again.

I call it twice on sunday.

Man!? I don't think that raise is a bad move, but the fold absolutely shocks me. Against an unknown especially!

I really think this river is a must-call.

I know what its like to always assume your beat in these spots (especially when you're running bad) but you can't be throwing away hands like this.

Assuming you're quite likely going to be splitting the pot anyways, i think a call is better than a raise, and anything is better than a fold.
