I would have slowed way down and check/called all the way. But then, I'm risk-averse.

Not good at all. If you're risk-averse, you shouldn't play poker. You need to take risks in poker a lot of them.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not saying I don't like taking risks at all, I'm saying I'm choosier than most in deciding when to take them.

A small heads-up pot with this board and a ton of aggression against me rules out aggression on my part. Check/call or fold.

I'm check-calling the river.

If this is true then I assume also that you wouldn't have capped the turn.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup.

I think I'm going to blind myself.

You said you would check/call all the way. That's not slowing down on the river, that's being passive and giving up bets when you are a huge favorite after the flop. If you mean ch/call the river, that is probably reasonable (although I would still bet against an idiot).

That seems like shutting down too soon with a great hand against a retard.

Eh, it depends on the read. Chip stack. Am I close to all-in? Do it, of course. Am I way up for the night? Do it. Did I just sit down? Just wait. You don't have to win every hand, and getting into a pissing contest with an idiot on this board with a weak kicker is just looking for trouble.

Clearly, we play differently. I prefer to make moves when I am likely to be ahead.

Buddy this is limit. If you're about to go all in, you should have brought more money to the table. Chip stacks are irrelevant in limit unless someone’s almost out, and that should never ever be you.

That is a very bad reason to do anything in poker.

You're looking to get maximum value out of every hand.

Check calling the turn after leading and getting raised on the flop is not "different" it's bad. Considering folding at any point in this hand is terrible.

Actually, the button didn't raise the flop--he simply bet in last position.

It was an easy bet on the flop. If he raises, you have information.

I was refering to his plan not the hand.
