  1. Thoughts on whether to call river? 50ish left, we'd been at same table for a couple orbits, no real history. My reasoning at the time for calling river was basically just that I felt I had the right odds, ie that he'd be bluffing 1/3 or so of the time here. I mean I don't think I'm beating any hands he's shoving here for value, but just felt he could be bluffing a good amt here. Not sure tho, I just have a tough time folding overpairs, esp to a good thinking player.

  2. why did you check call the turn? check shove
     
  3. as played your hand is totally under-repped, and I would call. But, I agree with pokerduude, i would either bet-call the turn, or check raise it. If you are beat, you are beat.
     
  4. think you have to fold riv but turn is def b/c or c/s

    Exactly this
  6. i dont understand this line at all, but i wish you had some history to better assess his calling range pre or his likelihood to defend light in position

    i dont really see a flush showing up a huge percentage of the time but its definitely a possibility. his river shove is kinda weird but his turn bet sizing might have setup his shove bet on the river. i'd take that into consideration.

    def. b/c or c/s here tho on the turn

    i guess at the time i didn't think there was much he could have worse that would call a check/shove, i mean maybe a jack, and i figured that he wouldn't be betting the turn like this w/ a draw since he wouldn't want to be check/shoved off of it. maybe people bet draws like this on the turn more than i think tho. anyway, i still don't like the way i played it. thanks for opinions, posted results.
