I'm running into a lot of these as well, and I'm also running like ass, I think I'm up about $300 this month, and I play $10/$20

No, I wouldnt consider calling these leaks. While we know we're losing these like 80% of the time, we only have to not lose them... (insert some number I'm not willing to do the math for)% of the time to make it profitable.

Better to lose one bet when we call than to lose 13 when we fold the winner.

<Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

No. Just think how rarely a bluff needs to work in those spots to be +EV.

Poker is freedom

I may be completly off, but why not check the river on hand 1 under the condition, which I'm assuming he is, that he is a good player and can read hands. If he reads you to be a over pocket pair, and he continues to show action, check the river.

Or would that be too passive?
