$25NL Rivered Straight

[Riposte]

With no reads, I'd fold. At these stakes, there are lots of players with 50%+ VPIP who definitely would play 57o in EP. Just my two cents.

Easy call IMO...yes..most of the time you are splitting but some times you pick off an outrageous bluff or overplayed two pair or set or something. There is only one hand that beats yours.

You'd be surprised how many people slow play trips or two pair and when scare cards come on the river, instead of shutting it down, they overplay their hand and do something ridiculous, like just go all in. It's a defense mechanism, they're not quite sure what to do anymore; they don't know how to release it. I think I call this bet, most people when they have the stone cold nuts try to get some value. I'd say the all-in bet reeks of a scared type of play more than a play denoting massive strength. Help any?

I agree in the thinking that making this call is +EV longterm, unless you have a specific read on your opponent.
