15/30 river decision

[turtlestar]

Apparently the passing of the 25th of December did nothing to dampen the generous mood found in today's live 15-30. Hero is in lucksack mode hitting many, many hands and rushing.

Hero open raises 3 off the button with 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I realize this is raise is, to put it mildy, "questionable." It is, however, no the interesting part of the hand. Button calls, BB, our villain for this hand, calls.

Villain checks, hero bets, button and villain call. I cannot stress how little these calls mean. For BOTH opps, the calls could mean anything from backdoor flush draws to 2 overcards to any pair.

Villain checks, hero bets, button folds, villain calls. Villain says "check dark," before the river.

Villain already checked, hero bets, villain raises, hero folds.
