Re: TPTK raised on river
[ QUOTE ]
i think a more true statement might be that you feel like a big hole in your game is being raised on the turn and river
the biggest mistake in such spots would be folding too much - its hard to make a big mistake calling too much

I agree with both these assertions...but I think I think the "folding too much is a big mistake on the river" is a fallacy... at aggressive games where players will pick up on it + exploit it, sure. But in low limit games these loose/passive players they have the goods 90%+ of the time. He doesn't know you are folding TPTK, you could be folding 77 or AT.
The risk of folding too much applies more to the turn, especially HU IMHO. Even passive players decide to raise weird draws and 1 pair hands often enough to call - folding TP on the turn without HEAVY action pf + flop would be incorrect most times IMO.
I'd love to hear more on this, because I think calling raises on the river hurt my w/r significantly at low limits and slowed my rise through the limits...it's something I've given more and more thought to recently.
