easy b/c, you still get alot of value from worse 2 pairs and 1 pair type hands here especially .25/.50 and against a 37/0

hide the results imo

dont be results oriented. this is a b/c twice on sundays. you puke/payoff when the raise hits, but you cant check behind here. Arag calls you off on this river.

but, yeah, you didnt need to show us the Q. we knew that is what raised you. however, you pay off because you are getting 10:1 on a bluff here, too, and villain appears aggro enough post flop that i dont lose sleep over a 10% chance that he just decided to try a desperation bluff since the 4th card hit. a more passive villain, and i can find a b/f here.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

KoRnholio will become famous soon enough
That check-raise is very rarely a bluff, most villains would just donk bet it if they wanted to bluff in that spot. With the right read I could maybe bet-fold, but would default to bet-call without a read.
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.
