I'd lead 21 and fold to a raise, but since you didn't, there's really no value in raising so just call and pray for an overcall.

the decision was whether to call [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

you don't worry about one of them having a flush?

Re: smallish pot, river decision
 

He might, but he bet less than half pot when he was checked to and we have two pair against an unknown when the spade draw and straight draw missed.. We're good here 1:4 I think.

Edit - do you ever lead flop? You might wanna try it sometimes on flops like these when there are a decent amount of draws available, folding to a raise.

Re: smallish pot, river decision
 

ops read it wrong, I call.

Re: smallish pot, river decision
 

Bet/fold the river. As played call.

This is a really simple hand.

Re: smallish pot, river decision
 

I fold.

The [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] draw is actually MORE likely than the [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] draw -- CO probably bets a flush draw when everyone checks to him on the flop.

Re: smallish pot, river decision
 

i would pot the flop, you get alot of value out of draws and lower pairs.

your turn bet is fine.

i would rather bet/fold the river here. it's a pretty nasty spot though. i would make it $15.

as played, i would call

Re: smallish pot, river decision
 

betting the flop seems like suicide. Say you pot it and get called ip. turn is a blank. you bet it again b/c villain is most likely drawing?

no way betting flop is good.

b/f river though.
