Final Pot (15 BB)

After Villian caps the flop, I figure I'm beat, but with the size of the pot I call it down. Does anyone fold this?

I play it the same, but I don't think we're ahead, and I've realized I'm seeing too many showdowns. Still, top frikken pair, as Ed would say.

Reads play a part in this too, of course.

Yikes. That's tough. I don't fold this without a read. The thing that makes it especially tough is the double-paired board. If villain had 2pr or a set on the flop, we're now f****d.

I'm torn. The fact that I've seen this play with AT and A9 as recently as last night skews me to the call down.

Yeah, I realize that a read would help here. That's a part of my game that I really need to work on. I used GameTime+ when I played almost exclusively on Empire. Since the split I've started bonuswhoring and have a hardtime getting GT to work on other sites. I just downloaded PAHUD so that might help, but more importantly I need to start paying more attention and taking notes on players.

I'm curious if anyone else lays this down and why?

No reads on CO? I'm definitely calling this down. With nothing to go on, we don't have much of an idea what he might be holding here.

improving your game is not about finding good places to "make big lay downs". getting 14-1 on the river you'd have to have a very marginal hand to consider folding.
I quote SSH, "You are correct to pay off!!"

Spew.

Two possibilities:
1. Flush draw that he's pumping.
2. 2-pair or better. Most people don't 4-bet a flop with top pair.

My first thought is to bet/fold the turn, but then I realize we are in a weird spot on the river. We are behind way too much to bet the river in this type of situation, but checking feels dirty. With this in mind, I probably show down cheaply

Looks fine. Can't fold this without a read.
