What a mess

[Requin]

SB is a decently smart, good reg, BB is a mediocre reg. Both have stats around 20-15. I timed down too low to get a bet in on the flop, which led to this ugliness. Once we get to the turn and BB called, I decided raise/call was my best bet. Felt pretty gross to put so much money in with no guarantee that SB was weak though. Also is river standard?

I dont get it.

why not bet flop?

[Huggy]

why shove the river?

[Borsig]

I would just check river, don't see what hands you beat that will call your all in and you got decent showdown value.

[Requin]

I don't think he have much showdown value anymore. I think his most likely hand by a good margin is 2 pair.

[john kane]

agreed i think often he has 2 pair. tbh i think its a pretty good play.

youre giftwrapping a stack on the turn.

Give that you fudged the flop like this, I just fold the turn and don't screw up again.
