Once I get raised the pot is now pretty big...you guys dont think I'm good enough of the time?

I guess this is read dependent, but if you assume that you can improve and win 5% of the time on the river you have to be ahead 25% or better to call down the raise, possibly even higher considering that there's a decent chance that if you improve you still lose and you lose an extra bet or two in the process depending on how you play it.

But that isn't all, if villain is raising the turn with an unpaired hand but something like the 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] you still are going to lose around 25% of the time which means you now have to be ahead on the turn close to 1/3 of the time to make your play correct.


Against an unknown do you really think you are good one time in three here?

Probably not...I guess this one of those things where you make a poor move, get lucky and then start thinking you did something good. Here, against this guy, maybe I did but in general I agree it doesn't looks so good.

Results: I bet river, he thinks...then folds and I take it down.
