This\'ll make you mad
 

I usually dont post results but this made me want to puke. Both are loose but weak postflop, the table agressor wasnt in the hand. Thought I'd be fancy...guess a little too fancy.

Both show 7 8 offsuit
How bad did I butcher this?
Does anyone call this river?

I think you win just often enough to make this call worth it. Barely.

I just read the results -- weird.

Re: This\'ll make you mad
 

I'd fold preflop and bet the turn. River sucks.

Re: This\'ll make you mad
 

I think everyone calls this river. The pot is freaking giganormous! Sure you're likely beat, but you're closing action here (not likely getting trapped in a raising war) and you're getting 19 to 1! If you think there's even a 5% chance you're ahead here, you're getting even money for the crying call!

I think everyone in this forum is allowed to whomp you upside the head with a copy of SSHE for providing the picture perfect reason of why the 'crying call' is acceptable.

Re: This\'ll make you mad
 

They were both weak. I'm sticking by the river fold, with 100 random players yeah, with unknows, sure...but with these two, no.. too tight to be right even 5% of the time. Either way I think its too close to care.

I actually think I could have gotten away from this preflop, or when I got raised with the pair on the board on the flop. I think this is an extreme situation, but I think im going to work on being a little tighter in poopy position preflop.

I'd probably say, ah [censored], then call anyway and hate myself when I get shown the full house, but I'd still call.
