Pocket J's layed down but whould have won

i am also messing

don't not sleep and post kids

i was making ridiculous hyperbole to try to emphasize a generalized concept, which Fnord was trying to get at i think? am i fucking it up in thinking that calling a tiny bet when the pot is huge, even when it does turn out to be a mistake, is gonna be a small one, whereas folding is more likely to be a big mistake?

I understand the concept your saying, but you can't say to call small bets into large pots jfc. You should take it into consideration, but don't let it dictate your play

So what you're saying that I shouldn't have been too concerned with the River bet in relation to me being afraid of the King being paired. I should have stayed in a called the $.02 bet on the River?

They're saying theres $0.21(i think) in the pot by the river and you only had to pay 0.02 to try to win it.If you call in this scenario 11 times and lose 10 times, but win once, you're up $0.01

Re-read my post.

Don't fold to min-bets whenever you have anything with any equity. You're at worst making a small mistake. I could go on about this if you'd like.

The result is correct but your reasoning seems to show a lack of understanding. You calculate your pot odds based on the bet to be called in relation to pot size, and compare it to the equity you estimate you have vs his likely hand range. When your estimated equity is greater than the price to call, then you must call. If you don't understand what any of this means, you should read about it more in the Beginner's Digest.

Yes, it says calling an all-in, but since you're closing the action on the last street of betting, the decision making process to call or fold is the same as when you're all-in.
