Well limp/calling UTG with QJ/JT or whatever would be kinda weird. I'm not folding this I don't think, and with a 4straight on board a raise has no value, so this looks like a definite call to me.

i usually prefer betting on drawy turn like this. as played, i call. given the pot odds, the times he makes this river bet with worse 2p/bluff prob compensates for the times he has a str8 here.

wtf? If this is true then your game selection is horrible.

Call river. But I think betting turn may have been better.

I think you're missing a lot of value by playing this turn passively.

rakes.a.beach · #8 09-09-2007, 01:38 PM

call and it's not close

going for pot control is bad here?

i bet turn and check river. you're still controlling the pot.
