I haven't played full ring in forever and it seems like I keep paying off people with ace high. How often do you call stuff like this down against an unknown?

Normally I'd check/fold the river giving CO credit for an 8, but the board doubled paired. I'd want to see a showdown here too.

I'll fold this on the river.

I would probably fold the turn, but I definitely wouldn't fold the river.
I would call the turn frequently against an unknown, though. |

Are you folding the turn because villain will have trips too much to make calling profitable?

[/ QUOTE ] Because a call is just a little over breakeven if we're always drawing live, we're out of position and we stand to make the least and lose the most if we hit our hand. If you're calling because it's likely that you have the best hand, that's fine. But your effective odds aren't very good. |

It's so hard to say against an unknown, but if people in this game generally don't fire the third barrel on a semibluff calling the turn and folding the river might be better. No matter why I called the turn, I am calling _this_ river for sure because it could very well have just given us the best hand. |

I think our overs are live and that we are ahead a reasonable % of the time. Assuming this is 2/4 or 3/6, if the board didn't pair on the river, i would c/f the river. At 20/40, i think i would c/c. Since the board did pair, there is no way i'm folding the river. |
