Good Fold?????

I had thought the button relatively tight/passive.... all experience with this player before had given me this impression..... didn't play many hands, and didn't take control of many hands, but liked to check-raise, slowplay, and was a pretty tricky opponent altogether.... I honestly believe I made the right call here, but is this too timid most of the time?

i would never fold this. Why not check call instead if you dont feel good about it.

To tell the truth, I just felt I was beat here... against another player, I might call a raise, but this player had shown to be sneaky... If it was a bluff, it was a good one, and the raise came IMMEDIATELY after I bet...... made me think it was auto-raise......

This always makes me think bluff.

Really????????? The weird thing was that I didn't feel timid about folding, which I usually do..... I don't feel bad about it at all.... I know it was only 1 more bet, and maybe I shouldn't have folded, but I jsut wanted some opinions....... I shoulda check/called.... my fault there for being too aggressive, I guess....

you don't find to many people that will bluff raise the river at LL. Guess you have to have a good read on the player here. I once had a guy that would bluff raise a flush draw everytime on the river. I made sure I put it in my notes and I knew next time I saw him at my table. First time he tried it I bluff re-raised and he folded /images/graemlins/grin.gif

That was SWEEEEEET

This seems like a better reason to call rather than fold.
