If you're gonna call the turn, you can't fold that river. Oh and I'd raise the flop a little just to see where you stand. If you don't improve or come up against a lot of resistance, it's easy to let go of.

Because the ace doesn't change anything. If you're behind, you're behind to a better ten or a flush. I don't see the point in calling 95, then folding to 150 when nothing changed.

Huh? I assume you folded because you thought you were behind to a better ten or a flush. But if that's the case, shouldn't you fold on the turn?

FWIW, I probably call the river bet.

What is this thread, only questions allowed? Lol. I assume this is a $33 since you've been playing those, in which case I'm guessing he could be thinking any number of things. Maybe he was bluffing the whole time and hit his ace on the river. I don't know. Or maybe he simply sees you lead check every street so far and figures that you missed your draw. I just think you played this hand way too weak.
