Re: help me raise my wtsd

i think calling in that specific spot is a losing proposition. his range is probably AJ+, and pockets given his tight preflop stats. you arent going to get a fold often enough to make a turn check...

Re: Is KTo utg profitable, according to your stats?

44-47% steal. money or not money.

is this spew or is the "40% steal is optimal" a myth?

What about for different limits? 20? 60? 100+?

Re: river fold.

Re: How\'s this hand?

I concur as well. My standard line is call down all the way. Given the way you played it on the flop, my advice would be to fold too.
