I dont like calling here, faced with a 3/4 of a pot bet on river then what? Raising is ok as there is some draws out there. But if he comes over the top of you then what? It could be a draw it could be a set.

I fold this one.

[steaknshake925]

i think preflop is questionable. even tho u have position i still dont like callin a raise w/ KJo unless i have a really specific read.

flop seems standard, but i would check behind the turn. not that many draw out unless u know villain can open with suited connectors.

given ur bet and his CR i fold.

Why not? It gives me a great table image, we both have deep stacks, I have position, and I'm good at folding if I think things are going awry.

There are certain dominated hands you should not get into the habit of calling 4xBB raises with btf. KJo is one of them.

It would seem to me that things are going awry....

No offense but then why are you asking the question? It's pretty obvious from his betting that thinks ARE "going awry". He raises PF - Check Calls the Flop and Check Raises what appears to be a meaningless turn. Unless I had a super read, I'm pretty confident your beat. I'm guessing he's got a set of 5s or 8s but even AJ has you beat.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm not so sure why I posted this hand. It's pretty worthless. It's a clear fold. I don't even know what I'm asking feedback for. I'm a retard.

I think I played this hand correctly. I folded.

[emil3000]

I can honestly say I hate the preflop call. And those aren't deep stacks. Postflop seems fine.

[lennytheduck]

Fold preflop and its not even close.
