Hero calls and: kicks the dog when MP3 shows his 77 or JJ OR kisses the dog when he flips ove AJ.

Or preflop he thinks uh ho..

AA KK QQ JJ TT 99 88 - I'm beat?

Chasing 22-1 is strange.

If you don't want to be raised then why not check the river and induce a bluff?

Because there was no guarantee that any of them would bet - they'd been chasing him since the flop. And do you mean he should just call if someone does bet behind him? If you're going to call a bet, you might as well bet out yourself. The river was a value bet. The bets he loses by getting raised by an actual better hand here pale in comparison to the bets he loses when it ends up getting checked around.

That being said, I'm guessing the guy was (badly) slowplaying 4's. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
