Default Re: Does any street make sense?

If button is a "lose passive fish", does he really raise the turn without a K or an A? It's a protected pot; if he's bluffing, he has to get through you and the original raiser.

In this context, what does our river lead accomplish? Seems like we're splitting this most of the time and losing the remainder, though I suppose occasionally he'll have 88 here and will pay us off. Loose passive fish are not known for intelligent, bet-saving river folds for a single bet, so I don't see him folding a king, and since it sounds like you're giving him little possibility of holding an A, I suppose we're calling a raise? I guess I don't have enough confidence in our read of him to bet/fold, but that's what you are implying by leading.

Cap'n, I enjoy reading your posts and think you have a great feel for the game (and reading your stuff always makes me curious to know if we've played together), so maybe your description of the button is missing some context or other important details?
