With only two limpers and in MP3 I fold this preflop...
And yeah, bet the river

Two pretty bad decisions in this hand.

1) The limp pre-flop is too loose. The hand is not very good, your kicker is weak, and there are still people to act behind you.
2) Value bet the river. There is no reason to think one of these guys has a jack right now. This is the more serious of the two mistakes.

Happy New Year!

LOL, you're right.

But, seriously, it shouldn't even be a question! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The reason I think you checked the river is that "Hero" isn't in red for that street.

I like the highlighting bisonbison's converter provides, but it can give subtle hints about the closing action (of the post).

Anyway, sometimes I don't bet the river when I should, when the card that falls is one of the last ones I wanted to see. But I agree with the others that you should bet here. Pocket pairs and unpaired aces may call, and there's a good chance you would have heard from a jack on the turn.

Edit: Also, someone with an eight might call.

Lots of sneaky micro guys have figured out how to remove the colour tags in our ??? posts. Just a heads up.
