By the river I'm really unsure if I should be betting here or checking behind. The hand so far just seems too easy if you know what I mean, this is the kind of hand where I wondering if someone is about to spring a river trap. Not sure how great the turn bet is either TBH but I'm pretty much always betting it at the moment (maybe I shouldnt be?)

bambaverde is 63.6/9.1/1.6 over 44 hands at this point.
jamppe is 35.3/0/0.3 over 34 hands

They both just seem like fish way out of their league, calling down to the river often, limping all sorts so I cant really get a read on either of them. I have seen bambaverde c/r the river before when he caught trips.


Hand 450929492560, Started at 2007-10-01 21:39:20
Table Louisville: $5-$10 Fix Limit HE (Real)
Seat 3: Kambleri ($591,85 in chips)
Seat 5: bambaverde ($297,50 in chips)
Seat 6: baskets12 ($181,50 in chips)
Seat 7: jamppe ($198,05 in chips)
Seat 9: HERO ($265,25 in chips) (on the button)
*** Blind Bet Round *** :
Dealt to HERO: 9c 9s
Kambleri : Post Blind ($2,50)
bambaverde : Post Blind ($5)
*** Pre-Flop *** :
baskets12 : Fold
jamppe : Call ($5)

RESULTS IN WHITE BELOW - PLEASE TRY NOT TO LOOK AT THEM UNTIL YOU HAVE COMENTED
I would have just left them out and posted at a later date but for some reason poker-office doesnt pick up the mucked cards at ongame and I have had to get the result from the Tower website.

*** SUMMARY ***
HERO shows [ 9C,9S ]
bambaverde mucks cards [ 6C,5H ]
jamppe mucks cards [ 5D,9D ]
HERO wins $104.50.

 Not thin at all. No raise on the turn means there's very likely no flush against you. A bet will get calls from 8x or worse. River changes nothing.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

I agree with Korn. Only real question is how to handle a raise...which i'm probably puke-folding to.

(btw, you don't need to look at the results to see what happened, just the three lines at the bottom of the HH. Doh!)

I agree with Korn and DrivingDog, a value bet on the end is for sure and then sick fold to a raise. Maybe had Ah8 or something, or even 89. I havent looked yet and ill post then repost after i see the results......this is fun for me, hah.

Ok thanks for the replies,

Its just that at these stakes I dont normally see two callers to the river and that board is drawy as hell, I was quite suprised not to see a donk bet or a c/r here.

I think this highlights a big leak in my game, I'm usually one of the most aggressive players at the table but I'm a complete wimp on the river

 Wait, you were concerned last week about moving up to 3/6 and now you're playing 5/10?

Yeah, well my BR has been growing very rapidly plus my maths were all screwed up that day when I was working out what limits to play.

I'm still playing 3/6 but I'm also taking shots at 5/10 when I see some players I have tagged as "fish" sitting at the table and I cant get a seat with good position on them.

Good for you, that's the way to do it. I'd be there myself but like to cash out too much.
