Yeah, calling one bet on the river in a big pot kinda assumes you have a hand with which to call.

no content here, but do keep posting questions to firm up what you're reading!

it's like blackjack: counting cards improves your chances, but counting cards wrong is worse than not counting at all.

This is a very very standard and easy muck, why did you push this hand so hard?

As I said in my original post, I'm having a bit of trouble adjusting to the "don't fold in large pots" concept of SSH. I guess the key words (which is missing from my quote) is "decent hands" which another poster was kind enough to point out.

Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it!

This might be the big mistake in the pot. Folding for just one bet on the river.

If you think this was your biggest mistake, you need some adjustments in your thinking.

Agreed. This is a clear misapplication of not folding the river for 1 bet. In this case, you don't have a hand. You don't even have a bluff catcher. Why call?

I always feel really weak folding these flops in the situation but it's the right play, think about it, what card can you catch on the turn to give you a winning hand?
