    No, I'm not trying to justify my stupid monkey spew, I know it's a dumbass move to try and defend a 2c blind with junk, just like it's a dumbass move to call ace king down when it miss miss misses. We were both idiots that hand. But, there is a good chance this showdown influenced the bb here. I dunno, I'm folding this river every time in his shoes, by now I'm thinking I made two dumbass calls on the flop and turn, and I'm just glad there's an overcard down to make the fold easier. If he thinks he's good, then he should get fruity on the turn where he still has what most people would consider something resembling a strong hand, he's got an overpair with a solidish draw as a suckout route if he's dominated by 88+. I'm folding it every time unless I saw the crazy mf go wild on his bb with a spaz hand. But even then, if junk is in the bu's range here, well his 77 looks in even worse shape than if it wasn't. Ya I'm folding this river every time.

    Maybe I do give too much credit for the observational skills of my opponents at 2nl. I imagine the regs that I have 200+ hands on with solid stats are paying attention, that they have HUDS running and notes and whatnot. I can't be alone when I'm taking notes about flush chasers or those who shove 66 utg, and I know I'm not the only one with a HUD. But really, am I in the minority?
