NL$10: AJ no longer TPTK

[Chargers In 07]

Hand wasn't played by me but I found this confusing. Villain is >70%vpip but don't know the other stats. What are you doing on this turn?

Converter wasn't working but cleaned up as best I could.

i suppose at 10NL this could mean a myriad of things, from a decent player i would expect a PSB here with a vulnerable made hand, i.e. ass end straight or 2pair. w/o specific reads, i call turn, hope to check down river( obv exception non-spade queen). Hero's getting almost 5-1...at this limit CO might have some spadey draw w/ middle pair here as well, who knows. crappy spot

These bets are so hard to read. I mean 60c into 3 dollars? seriously? And yet it happens all the time in these games for some reason, I don't understand it. Honestly you might be good, you might not be, I probably call the turn because he's clearly not going to make it THAT expensive on the river

[Chargers In 07]

ok river is a blank like 5d. He bets $.80, easy call?

[raymond715]

now getting what around 4-1 on river? i call and expect to see him turn over K9s or something

I've noticed that the really bad players use these tiny bets as "cheap" bluffs. The concept of pot odds does not even enter the play.

Then again, a sizable portion of the somewhat better players seem to use tiny bets as "raise me, please" plays.

For the above reasons, I agree with you. Call looks like the right thing to do.

call turn/call rvr is fine.

idk what play is like in this limit but pooshing the turn might be better.

On weekends the play gets occasionally pretty weird. Just last night I personally witnessed four 10NL tables with players/flop at 18% or less. It's almost as if the multitabling, non-regular bottomfeeders crawl out of their holes to prey on purely recreational players - they devour the fish and end up with one another on the same tables, each with 120+ BB stacks. And you'd be stupid to leave such an obviously lucrative table, since everyone has a huge stack of money, and they are all really bad players, right...

The best name I can think of for those tables: Japanese stone gardens.
