Default Re: I gotta fold this river, right?

IMO, 88 definitly has an equity edge against ranmdom hands that don't open raise 5 handed.

Yes. I'd easily make this raise if I was going all in. But three (miscounted first time) opponents (perhaps two, if the small blind makes the unlikely fold getting the same pot odds) is exactly the wrong number of opponets for a middle pair. The flop figures to have one to two overcards, you rarely hit a set, and three opponents is too many to bully out of position.

That said, raising is only a small mistake. But calling is not a "glaring error" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
