Facing a river push
 

Villain is 21/5 preflop with an aggression factor of 0.6. Is this an easy muck? The only thing I can see villain pushing here that I beat is two pair or a complete bluff (missed spades?) but the latter seems very unlikely. It's hard for me to put villain on a hand here, however. Also, how much more aggressive would an opponent have to be before this turns to a call?

Raise the flop to $5, bet full pot on the turn.

As it stands, this is a tougher decision than it should have been... fold to his K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]?

Re: Facing a river push
 

eh yeah, i would probably just fold this against a 21/5 with a small aggression factor, but for some reason, i sometimes call (cough-leak-cough). raise or fold preflop, depending on reads and table image. it helps define your opponents hand and makes these river decisions easier.

NH sir to DJ Sensai. Villain indeed had K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. There are only two ways for me to know that, and unfortunately I didn't learn this information because villain clicked "Show Cards" at the end of the hand.

Thought it best to post this hand, because I immediately regretted hitting the call button and realized it was a donktastic "I'm not smart enough to figure out what you have so I'm gonna call even though I should know better" move.

DJ, what's the reasoning to bump it to $5 instead of 3?
