Are you seriously asking if you should fold your last $2.05?

As played, river is call or fold.

Raising does you no good here, unless:

1) Villain is an moron of the highest order
2) Villain is such a great player that he will fold a Queen or Jack high flush to a person representing an Ace high flush.

#2 is extremely unlikely. #1 would require a monster read.

Personally, I think fold &gt; call &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; raise in this hand.

villain re-raised for another 36 to call.

I'm raising for value at the end, but know i'm pretty much beat with his push but am calling anyways.

and you fold this river?!??! anyone else?

Bet the flop. It's a flop that looks like it hit you and you have no other way of winning the pot.

Turn call is very meh unless sb has no hand reading skills at all. Either raise or dump it. I would prolly raise because thats not a bad flop to check with a set/KJ hand and you can rep that type of hand pretty well.

His river bet is a nuts or nothing type bet so just call it.

i would just call here.You are beat here on many ocasions.

Call. He has 2pair/set/straight here more often than flush. Btw I would fold the turn here.
edit: and yes bet the flop.
edit2: I mean call his raise, I like raising the river.
