Default Basic Calldown?

BB is 26/12/1.3, nothing out of the ordinary. He's been whining about running bad but I haven't seen him tilt. I've raised him preflop in a gazillion blind battles and won lots. His range to raise from the blind multi-way is obviously limited?

Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $2/$4

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG folds, CO calls, Button calls, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, 2 folds, Hero calls.


Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img](6SB, 2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls.


Turn: 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img](4BB, 2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls.


River: J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (6BB, 2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls.

Better way to play it?

Being it is now HU there is less value in capping AK especially after BB has shown alot of strenght by 3-betting the field. Not that it would be wrong to do so but its not a mistake.

I would give this up on the turn. You don't have odds to continue and you are behind too often

I think that we need to call the turn. we picked up a gutshot and we still beat some Ax hands that will likely check behind UI on the river

Which is exactly where I've been going wrong in this situation lately. I manage to convince myself to call the river when I find a reason to call the turn, which seems bad at pretty much every point in time other than when my cursor is tracking toward the call button.

Not to self: stop being dumb. You make more than enough mistakes out of ignorance to actively manufacture more.

Sorry. Private moment. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Less private than you may think. It was not a good river call.

I cap preflop.

I think I cap a lot lighter than most (mostly in position, but most players don't pay attention to that part).

I think I can cap AK here though.

readless, I play this the same.

The river is the only tough spot to play. Calling or folding just depends on the opponent.

and seriously, who folds the turn here, we have 4 outs to the nuts, and if these are 4 outs to a chop, we have the best hand, and if we are losing, we have 10 outs most of the time.

c/f the turn is retarded.
