River decision

[ViperBull]

Hi All,

This is one of my few forays into 6-max. SB is a LAG. From what I've seen so far I suspect he overbets marginal hands and slow plays big hands. No read on UTG.

Preflop: Hero is Button with J/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif. SB posts a blind of $0.1.

<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $4</font>, UTG calls $4, Hero calls $4.

River: ($20) 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $10</font>, UTG calls $10, Hero calls $10.

Final Pot: $50

The river bet is my main concern. I just about had pot odds to call on the flop and turn (certainly had implied odds). Was calling at the end the right choice or should I have raised?

Any and all comments appreciated.

[Leaky Game]

I've got leaks so take this with a grain of salt.

If your read is correct, you answered your own question. The only hand that beats you is a boat. Wouldn't he have check raised once the flush popped?

I'm raising here. If the SB had a boat, he'd likely slowplay it like you said and if UTG had a boat, what's he waiting for? This is just me, I've been known to be wrong.
