I haven't really been in a huge multiway pot yet, sorry. /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

This is one reason you should raise this preflop under these conditions.

Well, I don't quite understand calling the river.

[Dunno]

I guess u would raise then? Well u have to figure that there is an overpair out at least (dont be suprised if its a set out) and when the board pairs ur ALMOST certanly dead.

Folding here to just one more bet wouldnt be wise. i did that in a situation like this once and i wont do it again. (4 callers and pair of 2s took it down.)

You have 9988J on a J9844 board.

A preflop 3-bettor/flop capper/turn bettor and a preflop capper/flop raiser have bet and overcalled the river now that the board has paired. Any J beats you, let alone Q9+ or an overpair from SB or BB. You think you drag this pot 1 out of 34 times? Naaaaaaaaaaaah.

Would you call TT on the river?

I didn't even think about a jack beating me I was just thinking about the two likely overpair hands. I didn't want to talk myself out of calling as I was getting 33.5 to 1 but I probably should've.
