no reads on this clown and also no idea what to do.
all i know is that betting like a giant vagina is strongly discouraged, yet every single time someone does it to me I have absolutely no answer.


I have no idea what he has b/c betting 1/3 the pot on my first few hands at the table pretty much just confuses me.

i guess folding to a weaksauce river bet that is terrible....but i dont know. what in the world?

[Mr_Donktastic]

Its ok imo up until the turn c/r...thats not gonna work very often.

I would probably call the small turn bet and maybe a small river bet depending on the card and my read. The oher option would be to lead the turn and shut down to any more action.

[Talib Kweli]

if he keeps betting small im going to call him down most likely. c/c turn and a small river bet.

[KLJ]

sorry c/r turn doesn't make sense with your hand. c/c c/c or c/c c/f probably

[Robin Foolz]

dude you gotta call that river bet lol.

btw,vs unknowns i just c/c turn, c/c river. then make a note.

[JReezy]

call flop lead turn for slightly more than half and thats the last money I put in the pot

[LImitPlayer]

What about 3 banging this to about $40 or so on flop?

bad bluff

it does seem like a terrible river fold, i just see myself donating $20 like 95% of the time.

[ronaldann]

strange....I see myself scooping the pot ~95% of the time while lookin at his 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] type-of hand....

Seriously, just call and be happy with it. You only have to win one time in 5 to make it profitable.
