Its close. I probably call here too due to the nature of the board.

the only hands you beat:
A8
A6
A4
A3

his play looks a lot like a Q or weak K

wouldn't those have to raise on this board though?

why the nature of the board? or does that just mean you don't know? that's such an awful board for A high

Are you serious? In a 3 handed 30/60 game??? Those hands are irrelevant. They dont bet the river anyways. Bruiser beats JT and any diamonds that missed.

where? this is a particularly awful board. what's he calling the flop with? he's raising with a worse hand to push you off A high. he's more likely to play passively with a hand that's worth a showdown

I like betting river because so many hacks have to see all five cards with anything. It works for me usually.

Was there a plan of action among all that analysis? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

a weak A could easily bet the river to get him to fold A high.

don't you think JT or diamonds makes an attempt to win the pot without showdown?
