You played this correctly, no worries. Would be closer on the turn if you didn't have the Ks but I prolly call down anyway.

Re: don\'t know how to fold big pairs :(
 

You played this fine, I think.

I know I couldn't fold on the river.

Re: don\'t know how to fold big pairs :(
 

You should never muck this hand. He could be raising with the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or top pair ( or both). And you have a flushdraw yourself.

Re: don\'t know how to fold big pairs :(
 

Don't fold this

Sometimes I bet the river but c/c's fine too.

Re: don\'t know how to fold big pairs :(
 

Seems fine to me, u have to call down with Overpair. If villian was more aggro I think a 3-bet on the turn would be good

uhh... don't fold here

if you're considering a fold here, your name suits you

Re: don\'t know how to fold big pairs :(
 

It could be theoritically correct to fold an unpaired, non-spade river if the opponent is really really transparant and passive. I call down every time though.

Re: don\'t know how to fold big pairs :(
 

Thanks! I kind of knew I played it correctly... too result-oriented thinking I guess.

Re: don\'t know how to fold big pairs :(
 

Wouldn´t bet/fold be better suited for this kind of "quite passive" villain? If he is passive, I think the chances he raises the river with a worse hand is close to 0. Also, occasionally he may check the river, such as if he was semi-bluffing, or trying to "raise the turn for a free showdown." I see no harm, but occasional benefits, in bet/folding against this opponent.
