Default Re: Call this river with 88? Coming clean

Ok, I'll come clean on this hand now and let you know that I was the villain in this hand with 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I had just played long enough to clear my 5 hours of bonus on Totalbet and this was my last orbit. It pisses me off when I whiff off an hours worth of bonus on one hand so I wanted to see if I was at least thinking clearly on the turn check/raise.

When the [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] hit the turn I figured it was a good time for a semi-bluff. Many people recommend betting out as the bluff but I think it's more realistic with the C/R. When the actual villain called the turn raise I figured he had a pair with a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and I could still fold him on the river if a non-heart hit.

I was shocked when he called and even more shocked when I saw what he had. I figure that less than 10% of the normal Crypto 1/2 players call down with that. Just my luck I ran into one of that 10%. On the bright side I did still make $100 plus the bonus money and to be honest it wasn't by limping in with 55. I should have just folded that preflop and went on my way.
