dont limp from button. makes it impossible to put people on a hand and weakens your hand tremendously because of all the other random hands in there.

also river should be c/b exactly because u have to fold when he does this.

Re: 50nl: tpgk facing tough river decision
 

id raise or fold pf...as played in nonraised pot i would play cautious w/ TPGK, on river i definately fold

Re: 50nl: tpgk facing tough river decision
 

I would fold, even though it's hard to put Villain on a hand that beats yours. Probably he either began slowplaying once you raised the flop or he has 7h6h or Ah2h or something.

Probably I wouldn't bet the river at all, but I'll admit that I think sometimes I'm too quick to take the free showdown (fearing a big checkraise).

Earlier in the hand, preflop is fine in my opinion.

FWIW, KTo is already pretty weak. Which is my way of saying I'd rather limp here than raise.

Re: 50nl: tpgk facing tough river decision
 

As played I probably fold this river. I would prefer to check behind. CO probably could have been betting some combo draw like 45h that fell backwards into two pair. I don't think he ever does this with a worse T or low pair.

Re: 50nl: tpgk facing tough river decision
 

This is an easy check behind, only because it makes me nervous when players limp PF, call my flop raise, Call My turn bet.

In fact I wouuld be grateful for the check, Your hand is hardly a monster.

as played I fold and curse myself for not checking behind

Re: 50nl: tpgk facing tough river decision
 

Raise or fold preflop. Your hand plays poorly multiway. I highly doubt you can get 3 streets of value vs hands that you are ahead of unless villain is a total donk. I check the river and as played would fold to the c/r.

I also find it hard to put villain on a hand the way he played it. I can't see the river helping him so he must have had a monster and was convinced you would keep firing or he has the old busted flush draw and saw a chance to make a move.
