10/20 Sick river call, standard, or major spew

[jordankickz]

I wish I could post some in depth reason as to why I called on the river but I don't have any reason. It was purely gut. I couldn't see how he could have any hand that beats me on the river except an overpair which I don't think he would be shoving with.

translation: anybody ever slowplays an obvious boat w/45 on this board because it's hard for a worse hand to call a turn raise automatically gets my stack.

also, why the river bet? to induce a raise so you can make a spewy call?

i had a gut call today work out for me. yay gut.

[johnnyrocket]

i dont like leading the river really, this isnt too tough a call, why would he just call down with a decent hand and then reraise the river, it doesnt make ne sense at all, only hand that beats us here i think is 66, pretty standard call IMO

[jordankickz]

Ok, upon further review I think I played this hand like [censored]. I only beat AJ/AQ/AK type hands. I think I can get shown something like 88 here sometimes as a semi-bluff. Maybe even 66 or more likely 44. I made a small bet on the turn to try and induce an A high call. The bet on the river just plain sucked.

I could see playing a hand like this but I would need a very good read/ history.
