Fear of straights, fold on river ?

[tjh]

Advice on all streets needed. Not winning much lately, might be my play.

This is actually the first table of a two table Pokerstars 11. More or less a STT, just a TwoTT. I know the Flop and turn bets could have been just as effective or not effective for about .7 of the size that I bet. I was just lazy with the slider and overbet a bit.

Thanks.

NO WAY IN HELL. ANYONE WHO FOLDS THIS SHOULD BE SMITED BY POKER GODS. CALL, 100% OF THE TIME. YOU WILL BE AHEAD.

What is your reasoning? If I had the straight I would have played it exactly how he did. No need to bet till the river since I was betting. Are you giving a $10 player enough credit to bluff at the river. He is risking his whole stack. I give the fish credit for a hand when they do that. And the only hand that looks reasonable is the straight.

When they go all in on later streets I believe them. Is this a leak ?

67 could be played like this if he's an idiot. So could 22 or 33. So could 43 or 54. So could some other random holding some idiot could be playing.

I call.

I think he's more likely to have played an overpair in a retarded fashion than to have a straight.

You've also put 600 into this pot and now fold for only 900 more, when you have the best hand more than enough % of the time to make a call mandatory here.
