Seriously I wanted to call this river when I read it just to protect you image and more important your sanity (at least whats left of it)

I can confirm that he may never play poker again. I think the kid has lost it for good.

Re: Warning: Do not view hand on an empty stomach.
 

This might be a legit fold (haven't worked out how often you have to be up against AA, but I'm guessing if a good player's range here is JJ+ you're losing significant money on a river call) against players you know to be 2+2-like and such but if LAG is in his description at all there's no way in [censored] I'm folding.

Re: Warning: Do not view hand on an empty stomach.
 

Eegah, you make the biggest folds of any micro-poster I know. Stop it. You call on the river because you're getting 15:1. It's simply math.

If we narrow the Villain down to AA-JJ, then we lose with KK, QQ and JJ and split with AA. The best we can do is split, so our pot odds are cut in half.

Gotcha. Given how thin the odds are of two players both having pocket aces, this isn't even an eventuality I consider. So, if you feel that you can narrow his holdings to AA-JJ, I would say that your pot odds to a split are nearly non-existent, given the likelihood of each holding.

Re: Warning: Do not view hand on an empty stomach.
 

if he only has JJ+ you are beat 9times, chop 1

getting 7.5/1 so he needs something else some of the time

Precisely my point. Given his read, though, I don't think that OP can (or, more precisely, should) narrow Villan's holding this far.

Re: Warning: Do not view hand on an empty stomach.
 

if his range is JJ-KK, AA, AK [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], AQ [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

river call

lose 9times: -9BB
chop 1time: +7.875BB
win2times: +31.5BB

net:+30.375BB or 2.53BB/hand

if its just JJ-AA, AK [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
lose: 9times: -9BB
chop1: +7.875
win1: 15.75
net: +14.625, +1.33BB/hand

seems pretty bad to fold here

I meant that. This hand will make you vomit. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Then shouldn't the title of this thread be "Warning: Do not view hand following eating"?

I mean, nobody likes dry-heaving, but it's better than getting yak all over the computer.

And for God's sake, call this. You're mad enough to choke a baby either way, but at least you won't drive yourself nuts wondering if he had an overplayed A/K.

For the record, I had an empty stomach and did not barf.
