I still have a hard time believing that they bet the flop, and then call down to the river after being raised.

I like a river bet...like said any pocket pair is calling you and you might get a "curious" call out of a busted K high flush or str8 draw.

The river has to be bet and SpicyMoose needs to watch the 10-20 6max games if he thinks that 46/11/.6 wont call down with a worse hand after being raised on the flop. I've been called by pocket 7's here plenty of times.

Is this a standard limp? You dont have an equity edge preflop.

When you say that you have been called by pocket 7s "here" what do you mean? You have been in a situation where a smalll to medium PP bet the flop with 2 really scary overs, and then called down? When you say "plenty of times", you mean more than twice? Can you give me just 1 example?

I am guilty of not watching the games enough while I play though. I really need to learn how to watch how people are playing more.

preflop is debatable, but i think postflop is more interesting

given that you're afraid of a better ace or a Q, i'd check through the turn and call a river bet. pot is small enough, this ensures you get to showdown (you're in a tough spot if he c/r the turn on a bluff, with a Q, or with a weak ace), and he'll bluff the river a decent amt of time if he was on a flush draw

its very unlikely that youll be checkraised off the best hand on the turn so you might as well bet. if the river is a card smaller than 8 you have an easy value bet because your kicker plays. checking the turn loses value.

it seems to me that the type of player who limps preflop with JJ does not bet it into 4 people on an AQx flop. I agree, however, that if he did somehow arrive at the river with JJ he is calling.

I bet the river.

True, there aren't many hands that you expect to see call that you can beat. But most or all of the hands that beat you would have 3 bet the flop or c/r'd the turn. Villain may simply be the curious sort and call with a range of hands where he ought to know better.
