anyone like a flop call, planning on raising a safe turn?
button isn't going to have many hands we want to push out here but he can make some incorrect peels with backdoor draws or PPs

you will not be ahead here 1-10 times.

it's over

you beat 2 aces, and that's about it.

all gutshot + pair draws got there on the river.

I think this is a pretty easy river fold, and I never fold.

I like a flop call, planning to raise the turn on any card.

A flop call might invite the Button to peel with something like KHQX or other weak holdings.

The hard thing is assessing what a safe card is, which is why I like raising no matter what falls on the turn. If you get 3 bet, then you can safely fold (If the SB is a known LAG, then you should call down in that instance).

On this particular river, I think you should call down. Some players will take shots on a board like this. Also, a typical player will usually bet out his straight on a board like this, fearing you'll just check it down.

villain is getting a damn good price to bluff this, or to fold out a better hand. we're getting huge odds here... we really ought to know for sure that this guy doesn't [censored] around in this spot in order for us to fold this.

if we have no read here because we haven't been paying attention or because we haven't gotten a chance to, i suggest we call to see what he has (in order to start getting reads) and because calling here this time blind is hardly a mistake in limit. it's only a measurable mistake when you start calling here all the time in this spot vs this opponent knowing he doesn't [censored] around.

:nodding in agreement:

I've been shown everything from JJ to KQ to AA in this spot, even from stupidly passive players.
