Default QJ two pair scary river

Button is 46/2.27/0.56 over 88 hands. I've seen him call down with 87 on something like 233KJ. BB is a maniac, with 47.9/20.83/5.00 over 48 hands.

When I bet the river I thought I might be bet/folding, but after some deliberation I changed it to bet/call.

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (3 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls, Button calls.

Turn: (3 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, Button calls.

River: (5 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 9 BB

Easy bet/fold. HE would have very much trouble raising you here with less than QJ. His passivity, the board co-ordination and his affliction to calling with 9 high leads to an easy bet/fold.

Oh, I maaaybe should have added that this is 2 levels above his normal level, though I don't think it's clear which way that normally affects people.

My thinking with the call was I think J7 and Q7 are possible and I also think he could have been calling without a prayer as I've seen him do before and maybe he realized that he couldn't win unless I fold

J7 and Q7 are possible yes... that is a total of 14 combinations... There are far more that beat you.

Actually I think it's 12 combinations [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

The idea that he could be on less than a prayer is what persuaded me to call, though.

But I do agree with you, which is actually why I posted the hand.

It's good that you agree with him. He's right.
