Calling pre w/KTs is pretty thin. If I make that call I need to make or have a draw to a big hand on the flop. You flop TPGK and that is about all. With no reads I am not going to far with this.

I would fold the river....Also i am not calling this preflop (i know you were not asking for preflop advice though coz whatever works for you works)...but yea..i am folding this river

I would fold preflop. Hard to guess what SB has here. I might call cuz I'm curious, but it can easily be something like K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Its also just as easy to put him on a FD with no pair.

I'm checking the flop behind here. Its unlikely that you are going to take down the pot against 3 villains, and when you are called you have no idea of knowing where you are at. Without stats/reads I'm folding river here.

Does this belong in BBV because you made some awesome call on a scary board with no reads ? I think this is pretty bad I am checking the flop and def folding the river in this situation. Maybe heads up it is a different story, but at .5/1 nl not that many villans like to bluff their busted flush draws.

I think this is probably fine. He probably is slowplaying a monster at about the same frequency he is bluffing.

What?

I think that busted draws are probably the main source of SSNL bluffs.

I am folding to this bet on the river. SB's calling your near PSB on the flop with 2 players left behind is scary. Given his actions, I think he is slowplaying a made hand here and I will give up on the river to his 4/5 pot bet. Without a good read on the player as having a tendency to make near PS bluffs on the river I am pitching this hand.
