Having read SSH, I am trying to make sure I have good reason to fold the river. Here was my thinking,1) I have to beat two opponents not one 2) a 7BB pot is not large 3) I see no real st8 or flush draws either player could be chasing. Comments on all streets appreciated.

One of the two players has you beat. Easy fold. If it was just one player....I might be more inclined to call.

I disagree. Raise.

I would'nt fold this river, but I wouldn't raise it either.

Re: River Play?
 

While calling is not a bad thing, I think raising has a more positive EV given LLHE players on PP. They could have 22, 33, 44, Ax, Qx, Jx, or just plain crap. The bettor on the river might be just plain ol bluffing as these lame players tend to do with a board like this. Raise.

Re: River Play?
 

Well, I got a fold, a raise, and a call.
That should clear it up.?!

Zulu and Sent, can you give me your reasoning for your actions?Thanks.

Re: River Play?
 

I'll say call and hope either that they just overcall with an ace or your pocket pair turns into Jacks when you flip it over.

Edit: Actually I think this exact hand is discussed on p. 69 of SSH now that I think about it.

Re: River Play?
 

As passively as this was played, I call the small blinds' river bet and hope for the best.
