I don't know if this is supposed to be a fold or no. I know that I'd end up calling here about 80% of the time and be shown the flush or trips/boat. Meh.

I call it. The board is so scary and he checked to you on the river, a flush will bet out here most of the time. He has to be worried about you checking behind. I think you are good here more than once in eleven.

I almost always make this river call.

This hand brings back some pleasant memories of 2/4, by the way.

If the 80% is accurate, then the other 20% where you're good is easily enough.

Edit: Oh, wait. You're talking about calling 80% of the time, I've decided.

I do it more often. And at 2/4, anyway, I think it's +EV.

I think he meant that he calls this checkraise 80$ of the time and folds 20% of the time.

I think against an unknown you should call 100% of the time, though /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Yeah, that's what I decided too. So I edited.
