no way you can call here.

Kx beats you
Qx usually beats you or chops
a flush beats you
2 pair and straight hands beat you

you can beat somebody raising a single pair less than Q's, or air. The few number of combinations of these in addition to the lower chance that a player would actually raise those makes this a fold.

but yeah i don't thin kyou are good 1 in 6 times here..

Why bet the river if you're going to fold to a raise?

I think check/call would be better on the river.

So you can get called by sevens and random PPs.

Yea, thought it was a fold. Took a bit of a poker hiatus and wanted to make sure my brain was still working. Thanks.
