3 Wise Men - One Stupid Player

[Finite_Risk]

I hate situations like this - I know I shoulda popped the flop but how do you handle this.

I dont like being overbet into after raising, esp on a board like this - guess it froze me for the whole hand

What the hell am I beating by the river? Then of course, I misclick to fold...ugh

Villian literally just sat down

Final Pot: $23.10

The flop looks scary, but with all those high [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] out, there aren't a lot of flush combos that make sense for the villain to be calling with. T9s - 54s and KTs? I'd guess he either has two pair he wants to protect or maybe K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] with A or Q. I think a raise to $9 on the flop is OK. If he plays back you can fold.

As played, I'd call the river but expect to lose.

Call the damn river please. It costs $5 to potentially win $23 if your opponent has two pair or something.
