Default Re: 2-5 88 Hand

I was going to comment on this hand but I forgot. I don't understand calling the turn yet failing to call on the river in this case. you can beat a bluff, and not much else, so the only way a call on the turn makes sense is if you put him on a draw and plan on calling the river.

if he checks on the river you're going to have to risk a lot to push him off his hand, and that hand is probably one pair that beats you [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. so I don't think you win this all that much unless he's betting a draw on the turn and then just gives up. fold the turn.
