would you
a) call preflop?
b) cap the river?

I don't because you don't have any flush value. That doesn't make it wrong though.

Easily. No flushes and no turn action make this a no brainer. Plus, you have the best straight. Since you are posting this, I am guessing somebody had a boat, but you are going to come out on top way more than not.

would you
a) call preflop? No - I would fold fold without a second thought.
b) cap the river? Hell yeah.

Oh, and yeah, this is a fine PF call. You're getting like 19:1. You're fine capping the river i think UTG+2 would have bet the turn if he had trips with a 4 kicker or already filled up. Also, he only called ur c/r on the flop

location? Unless u're trying to keep this a secret, which i could understand.

Maybe u should give that a second thought. 19:1 against a bunch of fish sounds yummy to me.

Brantford Ontario home of Wayne Gretzky. Actually these games are not for the faint of heart. the low quality of play is great for the win rate but it increases your variance to something seemingly intolerable if your one of the more emotional players these are not good games for you. luckily ive become accustomed to the suckouts so they no longer bother me. but that is by far the hardest part of playing against such carppy opposition

At the point the action is to him, there's $80 in the pot, so his $5 call would make it 16:1. It's not 19:1 unless he's sure everyone else will call after him, which isn't a sure thing.
