NL100

no single read.

I raise 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on the BU, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop (10BB) comes K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet 8BB, SB reraises to 18 BB. I call.

Turn is 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

SB checks, I check.

River 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

SB pushes for the rest of his stack. Its slightly more than 2:1 for me, my action?

only thing u beat is a float or another missed flush which is unlikely, this is def -EV if you call.

Fold, and i don't want to be rude, but i think you should read the sticky and perhaps see some of the videos. Think that would help your play

yeah. not to beat more on you or anything... but from the two hands you've posted, i don't think you're able to beat this level.

As with the others, not trying to be rude, but are you aware that pairing the 4 on the river does nothing. Three pair is not a poker hand.

Seems like you are trying to make way too many heroic call downs (from the texture of your hand posts today anyway). THe money in SSNL is getting it in with good hands. You need really good reads to make these kind of call downs worth it because there is so much more money to be made in other situations.

As for this hand I'd call because 3 pair > 3 of a kind

I def see no problem in it. This is just some sort of evolution. To get a balance in your game between calling and folding you need to start calling more, since the first thing youve approached is folding too often..I think its normal process of learning: to switch between extremes in order to balance.
Don't worry guys, It just takes a month or two, and It will be somewhat balanced.
