I couldn’t find the hand history for this one hand….I don’t think the cryptological sites log viewer was working during this time, but I’ll try to explain this one the best that I can.

Short handed .50-1 NL table. I had only been playing for about 3 spins. I didn’t have too much info on any of the players but I did have an image of the cryptological sites. Is it me or are the people that play there way to hyper-aggressive for all the wrong reasons? They seem to love to push people off hands, and I think I’ve seen an all in an average of once every five hands on those sites, most times on the flop or turn. I’ve experienced +EV calling an all in with even just top pair. Based on this thinking I figured that I would get paid off if I made my hand, or better yet, have it bet for me, which is what happened here…but I’d like thoughts on the over all play of the hand.

Six handed I’m one off the button.

River cards is 4 of something and my straight holds up.

How did I play it? Do you need more info? Thanks in advance.
