fit or fold

Im working on situations to break my habit of fit or fold. Even without the 2nd nut flush draw would anybody have a problem with this play?

Why do you call the river?

It's fine up to the river call.

truthfully i felt button was a bit on tilt and it was one more bet. you would disagree with the river call?

I also won here, so I could be a bit partial to the river call.

Fold the river

So when you said no reads that wasn't actually the truth was it? If you make a habbit of calling the river with Ace high you will lose money. "One more bet" is the path to ruin, good plyers only make 3 or 4 bets every 100 hands.

When he says "make" he means "profits by" about 3-4 Big Bets per 100 hands.

Did you think maybe he meant "places" 3-4 bets every 100 hands?

Ovbiously you're placing (ie making) far more bets per 100 hands than 3 or 4; but bankroll-wise, a good player will be "up" 3-4 Big Bets after 100 hands (depends on game / limit of course)
