Call the river, period. There is no postive expectation by getting fancy, since there is a lot of money in the pot already.

You fail, even if you prevailed in this particular hand.

No you fail. DUCY? I like every street, i cap preflop sometimes too.

No you fail, see the four Jack example in "The Theory of Poker" by David Sklansky. Test your reading comprehension.

Oh my. There is definately some failing going on here...

Tricky gambooler type asian males don't like folding. Especially when their opponent's line looks tricky. Villain is folding 0 hands that hero beats, but villian is also folding ~0 hands that he 3-bet with. He's calling with all pairs, lots of aces and if he's running bad or a bit frustrated he's calling with all aces and the occasional K hi.

River is a valuetown raise all day long.

Yeah, an idiot like that could have a pair of Jacks, or a Q9 or some worse queen. I call the river all day long, no matter what type of fish.

I think we should fold a turn K, but otherwise I like the way this hand went.

Taking KT/JT/T9/99/88/77/66/55 to valuetown here seems to be the consensus, but I might add a dissenting opinion that I'm folding to a 3-bet.

Specfically that r/f > call > r/c

but there are more combinations of hands we beat then the other way around by the time you get to the river. Raise/fold is fine.
