$1/$2 Stud/8 - Call w/Ace high
 

I believe I should have folded sixth but what I’m curious about is the river call.

It was intentional because barring him picking up a pair/Queen on the river, I figured he was out-kicked for high.

How often do you guys make calls like this?

Maybe in big pots, but that pot is tiny, I don't think you win this often enough to make it profitable.

Thanks Mike,

As a recreational player, sometimes it’s not so much the money as the “what if” for me. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would bet fifth. You should be able to pick up the pot often enough to make it worthwhile. Sixth and seventh are both folds.

In my experience, Villain doesn't fold here if you bet out on 5th. He knows you're going low too so your hands are about even. i.e. If he's going to call 4th, why wouldn't he call 5th when you both brick? Does the fact that Hero may have paired his Aces tip the scale?

If you are not here (PS), get here. The games are good; too bad, I am card dead.

This post is tooooo small.

I think betting 5th is pretty close and it is player dependent.

Edit "This POT is too small"
