 Too many hands could beat you here (all he needs in one ace) and he's playing like he has high pocket pairs. I'd get outta here because you're about to get beat like a redheaded stepchild.

You have to raise somewhere to figure out where you stand. Calling down is weak and puts you on all the tough decisions. The way its played I think you have to call the river given that you called the flop and turn and its 3:1 pot odds.

whats with the calling down!? He no doubt has you beat but raise the flop (cheaper to raise than the turn) and play it out form there. When you find out ur beat you can get away form the hand and save the $$$ you passively called down with.

some intersting thoughts. Here's a hint.

You are not LeFou. The SB is LeFou.

Wow, easy call.

Not joking, easy call.

EDIT - How do we feel LeFou precieves us as a player?

well a few hands ago we did the actual Dumbest Damn Thing LeFou has ever seen:

We were HU versus this other guy, a funlovin' LAgg.
Flop 895
Lagg bet, we call
Turn 9
Lagg bet, we call
River 8
Lagg bet, pretty substantial one. We go into the tank

(I'm not making this up. I have witnesses)

We are contemplating whether to call with 44
That is to say,
We are wondering whether it's worth calling a big bet in case opp has two cards 5 or less, and we can split with him.

EDIT: and, oh yeah, the "answer" is that you should call. LeFou shows down QJs. It's what they call a "good beat"

HAHAHAHA

So LeFou probably expects us to call. Then it's a fold.

I hope to god LeFou expects us to call.

LeFou I thought it was an odd HH for you! I think you either have aa - qq possibly AJ considering all the continuation bets you mustof had a hand and im sure it beat the KJ.

Out of interest how deep were the stacks and whats the max buy-in? Cos we play these stakes live: 10c/20c blinds $20Buy-In. Perfect stakes for a fun but meaningful game.
