I understand that raising is just losing more money, but how does that justify calling the draw that you will lose way more than you will win. I'm not saying its wrong, but what's the logic? That you hit one of 4 outs, 8 on the turn? You are clearly only playing for the straight. This seems to be more of the type of play to make in a multi way pot to at least get some odds to call.

Do you know what pot odds are? (he's getting 9:1 on the flop, 6:1 on the turn, not counting rake) I can understand a free card raise on the flop, or a semibluff raise on the flop or turn, but folding this hand anywhere after the pf cap is atrocious.

yeah this is like a never kind of thing for me, but i had folded several times here (i had also folded my SB when it was folded to me as well) and had a pretty rockish image. i did plan on him folding several flops. it just happened that this time he had a legitimate hand (JJ - and paid off with it nicely).

His river play sucks.
