Default Re: more meh hands

I gather your spidey sense tingled, and listening to it may be a good policy. But checking this river behind after the described action against a generic online mid-limit opponent is a mistake in my opinion.

What's with the Little Mr. Cranky Pants routine?

Yes. The board is failing you miserably. You haven't said what limit or how many seats or anything about your ep opponent or your own image. You just expect a hand range. Well, ok, let's assume it's 8 handed and he's aggro, so before you bet the flop: 55+, A-8s+, KTs+, QJs, ATo+, KJo, and the occasional gangsta 56s and 83s and, of course, his traveling hand, 69s (which he calls "Big Lick", get it?). Good enough?

So. Betting the flop is reasonable, because you don't have a pair and want to clean up the trash if you are best, and you can certainly withstand a check-raise, it also may buy you a free turn card should you decide you are likely behind.

On the river, what worse hand calls. Well, not knowing anything about the opponent, I'd say I see calls from 88, AQ, AJ, AT, A9, QJ. You aren't good very often after you get check-raised though, more often than 1 in 20 I'd say, but less often that about 1 in 15. But, as estimates go, this is all even smellier tan usual, given the lack of information.
