$20+2

NYCNative · #5 12-18-2005, 06:28 PM

I didn't think about that as bad because I wanted it to be a value bet - it was low for that I guess. I thought my turn raise was worse given the pot size...

If this table has really been super tight, the bizarre action you're getting from UTG+1 leads me to think you can actually fold this on the river. I think you'll be seeing a boat quite often. But calling the push is probably okay too, particularly since the river bet you made was pretty small.

I may fold to that big of a raise on the river even at $20+2 without a read o the villan and raptor is right make a proper bet on the river

why do you call a raise from utg with 65s? I'd need a monsterhand to play here. There are better spots to put your money in.

He has a large stack, position & implied odds.
