Crying call when I "know" I am beaten? (10/20 in HUGE pot)

[marand]

CO is a LAG
UTG is unknown (New to the table and not enough stats on him to be meaningful)

Would you play it any other way on any street?
What about the river call? Almost always beaten, but will I win it 5% of the time?

FWIW, I call, and I also sleep well at night.

I have definately seen laggy players raise with a Q-high flush here. You may even be good here 5% of the time, although I lack any empirical evidence....

i'd be impressed by the lag raising a Q hi flush in this case, since hero has KhQh...

J-ten high is a possibility. I call (but i play 1/2 so dont even need to hesitate paying a couple of bucks).

I'd be impressed if he had Jack high since it was the river card

This call is a "couple of bucks" to a $10/20 player hehe.

LOL duh. Ignore my idiotic last post. I still call, but I clearly suck, I can't even read my own hand [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

It is not a couple of bucks at 1/2. It is one BB. It will always be one BB. Try not to think in terms of $'s.

Sure you are beaten, but I dont see any other way to play it. I might fold in a 10BB pot but never here.
Calling river checkraises is also presumably good for your image. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
