Default Am I getting paranoid?

I have been giving 2-4 players little to no respect lately and usually assume they have nothing. However, I'm starting to rethink this when people push the river and there are no real missed draws apparent. But then, when/if I fold, I'm kicking myself for being weak...

2-4 NL Online 10 handed

I am in the BB with J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and have all relevant people covered.

3 limpers, SB completes.

Flop: 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Pot: 20ish

checked to me, I bet 15, UTG+1 (~350ish) insta-calls, everyone else folds

Turn: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Pot: 50ish

I bet 40, UTG+1 insta calls again.

River: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Pot: 130ish

I bet 100, UTG+1 thinks for a bit and then pushes for 175 more. Easy call?

um i don't like it... it seems a lot like he picked up flush outs on the turn and then made his flush. while i'm likely calling without a good read (likely), anyone who doesn't play 2-4 (read nut peddling dopes) can't understand how much this call actually would make me sick. i don't think it would be a horrible fold, folding or calling both marginal. especially when i bet near full pot on the river and he seems to NOT CARE AT ALL.

Here's the thing, I just don't see people bluffing with air that often and I also don't see tons of creativity at this level. What range of hands do you put this guy on?

He knows you're not folding for the $75 more. Move on.

Default Re: Am I getting paranoid?

A big leak of mine is calling way too many rivers - but at least I sleep easy at night [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I call here 100% of the time, right or wrong, unless I have a very solid read on a player, and even then I'm hesitant to fold (and probably won't).

I'm still crushing 5-10 with this leak, so until I start getting killed on these calls, I'm going to keep being a calling station. Face it, people overplay hands...
