On the river in my boat
 

MP1 was quite loose and rather passive

CO was fairly tight with a small PF raising range and way too passive postflop up to this point.

umm...i'd hate to fold in this big pot but CO wakes up on a 5?! he's got Jacks or Tens and you're screwed. and a loose/passive is capping: the unlikely quads?! you got me, but i can't see us winning this hand.

Re: On the river in my boat
 

I'm not good enough to fold this because I hate having to put my head in the oven, turn on the gas, and light a match as punishment for folding when I would have won a 33BB pot.

But, really, you're never winning here.

Oh....there's that beeping noise...you have to press a button...

Re: On the river in my boat
 

Wow

Well we're not too worried about MP1, right? 55 is his only probable hand that beats us, but there's a ton of others that he might have too, like JT, Jxd, 56.

So CO probably has a retardedly-played JJ or TT.

But it could also be a retardely-played AA-QQ. I think that chance warrants a call.

Because I too would stick my head in the oven if we fold the best hand here.

cry. trust me, you don't think it's a button, but it's a button.

Anyone care to put some substance to an answer (that sounded harsh...didn't mean it that way). Just some odds and %s that we're good.

I think there's almost always 3 boats floating in this river.

MP1 hasn't slowed down since he saw the flop. It's likely he had a set from the flop, but maaaaaybe he was capping all the way w/ 2 pair and made his boat on the river. Most likely a set though, because QT says he's passive.

CO has JJ or TT or 55, all the time.

I'm having a hard time coming up with a plausible scenario in which QT is winning. MP1 has 65 and CO has AA (and thinks the river counterfeited his opponents' two pair)? Or maybe CO just suffered a severe case of stupidity-tilt and is bluffing at the pot because he's tired of his AA losing every-damn-party-poker-is-rigged time?

With 30 seconds to decide, I'm panicking and calling this river. But you're probably looking at a capped pot and 10-1 pot odds and, with time to think about it, you're not good anywhere near 9% of the time and can safely fold this.

Re: On the river in my boat
 

If you need a rationale to call and he truly is passive post-flop, then let's say he has AA/KK/QQ, he can't figure out all the aggression on the flop and isn't folding. On the river he feels he counterfeited two-pair holdings and the flush he feared missed and wakes up.

So if his PFR range is &lt; 5 and he would have folded AdKd instead of hari-kari bluff 3-bet the river with it, then you are ahead of AA, KK, QQ and behind to JJ, TT and as all of these may 3-bet this river I have to call and then see MP1's quad fives.

Re: On the river in my boat
 

i just frickin' call. i'd rather piss away 2BBs in this big pot than live with the guilt of folding and missing out on 27+BBs [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

AA or KK could play this way...i guess. MP1 has got me stumped- he doesn't have TT, so JJ or maybe 2 pair, or maybe he even has AA-QQ???

bah! arg! doh! i just throw up my hands in confusion and call this blasted ludacris hand [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
