Bizarre 66 Hand with 44422 Board
 

No reads yet. I think its a clear fold on the river. The flop call had me thinking 22, but the river all-in has to mean a big pair right? Anyone call this and/or bet the turn?

HAHAHA, as I'm posting this I click submit and end up clicking raise on my other table as Stars brings the window to the front of my desktop...nice. The hilarious thing is I actually end up with a coinflip! The initial raiser ended up dropping AJ to all the strength I showed. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] (MP2 had 66)

Ignore my 22 comment, which clearly makes no sense. Still not sure what I was thinking when I typed that. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I dunno, a min-raise with a bigger than 6's pocket pair? That kind of play at the 5.50 level at 'stars is asking to be outdrawn.

I don't like your check on the turn. You made a significant raise on the flop expressing a lot of strength and then checking it is a bit odd.

I would think he would reraise you on that flop if he had a big pocket, wanting you to push with your overpair.

I think you might have to pay him off - he may be trying to make the old fun play of - "lets see if the guy is paying attention that its a split pot"

I think I call. Some people...and yes I am guilty of this, just make this move trying to pick up the pot when I'm certain it's split hoping the other player either isn't paying attention to that or is new to the game and doesn't recognize that. I think it's possible he had two overs and a flush draw on the flop. But it's always possible he has a higher pair.....but I've seen single tablers min-raise with really low pairs too...such as 33 and 55 just to get money in for when they hit a set.

I call...only plausible hand that beats me is a higher pair (or pocket 2's) and he didn't show *that* much strength on the flop..looked like he was drawing to me.
