Is this bad or terrible?

well, you do beat AXdd

I think this is pretty bad, pretty much no hand out there that you beat except for a pure bluff. I know this river sucks badly but I think you should've layed it down.

P.S.: I stick to my comment even if you won in some mysterious ways...

terribly bad... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

OTOH, you checking the river to him kind of induces a bluff from some missed flushdraw type of hand. I mean, you wouldn't check an 8 or better in that spot, right? I doubt opp. has something like that often enough in this spot to make the $8 call profitable though.

I fold it and kick a cat. You are better than me though so i'm curious as to your results on this hand.

easy fold, ul
