took me a full minute to call that river

Hand 5)
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

Hero ($25.05)
SB ($37.45)
BB ($38.45)
UTG ($38.65)
UTG+1 ($1.90)
MP1 ($25.25)

Normally I raise this pre, but with a super-shorty in there and another semi-short stack I just limped behind. Odds on the flop were too good to give up. Middle pair probably isn't good there, but I can hit a fairly safe 2p or trips or back into a flush.

SB checks, Hero checks.

River: ($7.20) 2 (2 players)
SB bets $5, Hero calls $5.

Final Pot: $17.20

 Hand 4: I don't bet the turn quite as hard, maybe $5.50-$6.00. The idea is that it makes it a little more attractive for flush draws to call (while still getting pretty bad odds) but it's also easier for me to get away on the river when a spade (or in this case an 8) falls. As played I could probably find a fold on the river, but it's not horrible to call imo.

Hand 5: With this many limpers and the best position you should just [usually] limp behind as well. Good call on the flop, but I probably check the turn since against three villains we don't have much fold equity. As played, the river bluff is likely profitable.

Hand 6: I totally didn't see this hand a few minutes ago. XTR has already hit it below, though.

#4 We beat nothing but missed spades and his range has a ton of hands that beat us beside that. I fold and feel bad about it.

#5 spoon said it

#6 I fold. He´s not bluffing near enough to make this call profitable.

I do tend to make a lot of thin calls on the river. When a hand doesn't make sense to me I usually try to find a way to call it.

#4 I like the betting advice, spoon. Looking back at the HH now, I think it's a bad call on the river without some kind of read on V. I got lucky, the guy limp/called JJ from UTG and flatted to the river, then makes a bluff on a really obvious scare card.

#5 I took it down, I just didn't see anything too powerful in V's range. I'm going back and forth about whether to raise in these situations now, because I've always tended toward trying to make a pot heads up. I take so many down without a showdown that I always figure I'm basically playing preflop to set up a c-bet to take down the pot rather than to build a pot with a better hand. I think I'll save some similar HHs and start a thread on it.

#6 Spoon, I accidentally posted the topic without it and added it a few minutes later.
This is a case where the bet didn't make any sense to me, and the flush draw was huge here, so I kind of talked myself into calling it. I figured he probably missed a flush draw. he had 8d7d, so he turned a straight draw probably intending to c/r, but I disappointed him and instead he went in after the river bricked.
