Missed a bet on the river cause I figured he made his low. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Your starting hand is pretty dubious. I think that especially with no ante, it's best to fold. Definitely fold fifth. Nice catch. Unless perhaps the rake hasn't yet been maxed out, there is absolutely no reason not to cap on the river.

I am of the opinion that poker sites should not give players the option of folding to no bet.

funny you mention that because I wish UB allowed me to fold for no bet (on the river where I can't beat the upcard and dont won't to show.)
