I'd probably call but I think it's probably right to fold.

schneids,

would you call? Or more specifically, how often would you say BB does not have an A or 7. In these situations everything happens so quickly, I dont stop to create all the permutations so I just act on instinct. Just wondering what your thought process would be.

Check behind on the turn and call a river bet.

So I assume you think Hero is probably behind on the turn and fear a c/r? I play the turn the same as Hero.

I would call the river getting 10:1. I'd probably fold if it were 7:1.

Checking behind on turn and calling or folding if I miss my draw, depending on what I know of how the BB plays would be my line. As to how you played it, if you're not folding this river against typical opponents, you're spewing chips.

Would this sentiment change if this was 10/20 instead of 5/10?

it is 10/20.

10-4
