The only thing I want to critique Bull is the fact that you are playing micro-limits.......

Why??? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Nice to see you my friend..

I would check call the river, as I see many more hands that beat me than hands that would call a bet and lose.

But these good two pair hands in stud are very close either way.

Even though I am almost sure I've lost, I probably pay off the river raise for the size of the pot. Again, just me.

The idiots I play with continually try to get me to lay things down when they can't even beat my board. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Perfect - right up to the part where you folded 7th.

[SittingBull]

The reason I'm currently playing Micro-Limits is that every month I have to withdraw about 50% of my bankroll to pay some bills for condo fees,energy,auto Ins,. and food .
I am not able to parly up my bankroll to play in any "higher" limit game at this time.
However,I will be receiving my social security check in mid-Sept..(62,early retirement [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])and I will NOT have to use much of my bankroll. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I will then be able to parly it on up and "graduate" to the "higher" limit games. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I plan on finding out what my "level of incompatence" is in "cyberspace".
BTW,almost ALL stud games seem to have vanished in the MIss/La. area at the B&M's.
However,the low-limit hold'em games 3/6 to 4/8 are very profitable. For the last 4 sessions in Miss/Baton Rouge,I evolved a winner. But I'm having trouble beating the "micro-limit" hold'em games in "cyberspace".

INCORRECT. However,I displayed a lot of aggression thru 7th. In this case,it's EXTREMELY rare for one to come over the top with anything less than trips.
Calling and losing is a MINOR error. But FOLDING the BEST hand is a catastrope [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img].So in GENERAL,U are correct. BTW,my Oppo. showed a Str. on 7th. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

In the "micro-Limit" games,It's EXTREMELY rare for a player to NOT have at LEAST trips when he comes over the top after his Oppo. displays aggression thru 7th. So If u are playing these limits,save ur last chip. They do add up OVER TIME.
Player showed a Str.,BTW.

The reason you have to pay off the bet, is as you stated its only a small mistake. You know with reasonable certainty that your opponent is on a draw in this situation, and when you bet you are commiting yourself to see a showdown. You wouldn't have to fold the best hand here very often for your opponent to show a profit bluffing this on 7th. Also by folding you are setting yourself up for people to take shots bluffing you on later hands.

[Andy B]

I'd have to be awfully damned sure of my opponent in order to fold this river, and I don't think you can be sure of much at $.25/.50.

[SittingBull]

calling the last bet is NEVER a major mistake.
