Why fold to a river raise? You think he's slow playing or maybe got 2 pair on the river? His check calling says a pair of tens or kings to me.

btw, where are all the hands where you raise preflop with poop and MISS?

hehehe

what about the other half of the time, when the other guy bets first? Do you get out then, or do you continue with the agressive stance? I guess "it depends." You seem to be waaaay more of a player that plays against the other players, not your cards vs their cards.

It's a really important skill to learn. Play enough hands and you'll eventually figure it out. It's only something that can be learned through practice, as far as I know.

A8o - I'm assuming he did raise, but why would you fold to a raise? How did the river change the board? The only other 1 pair hands that beat you are AQ AJ.

You mean a hand like this one: when Fnord c/r the turn I know I’m in trouble, I had him on a draw on the flop but then the c/r told me I was in serious trouble and needed a suck out, I called the river mainly as a crying call...

How often does a loose/passive twit check/raise the river with a worse hand? I doubt it's more than 5%.
