    Default I'm kinda lost here, but I don't think I should be

    First hand @ table, no reads although the poker site is one of the softest on the internet. It's safest to guess that my opponents are most likely awful and stationey.

    Should I be raising any street? Should I call river?

    $0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem
    6 Players
    Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG parazik24 ($31.82)
    UTG+1 tfl2374 ($128.83)
    CO gomesovic ($51.75)
    BTN Hero ($50)
    SB striderara ($42.50)
    BB RASTAAAMAN ($78.12)

    Pre-Flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is BTN
    parazik24 calls $0.50, tfl2374 calls $0.50, 1 fold, Hero raises to $2.50, 2 folds, parazik24 calls $2, tfl2374 calls $2

    Flop: ($8.25, 3 players)
    parazik24 bets $2, tfl2374 raises to $6, Hero calls $6, parazik24 calls $4

    Turn: ($26.25, 3 players)
    parazik24 bets $2, tfl2374 calls $2, Hero calls $2

    River: ($32.25, 3 players)
    parazik24 goes all-in $21.32, tfl2374 folds, $21.32 to Hero ($39.5)?

    You have quite a bit of equity vs most hands on the turn. I think you need to raise this up. You could take over the initiative and have position for the river. As played I may fold this river depending on reads, without them I may call. Your way underrepped with the way you played the turn, and he may just think your folding a J.

    raise turn serves no real purpose.

    he could be value shoving AA or even QQ so def calling riv.

    i agree raising turn is pointless. we fold worse and keep in better mostly

    sometimes i think "if i raise here would I have to fold to a shove/3bet" in which case raising is probably a pretty bad idea.

    you have to be good i think 28% of the time on the river (calling 21 to win a 74$ total pot

    you're probably good closer to 50% of the time if not slightly more.

    if you lose at least you get info on exactly how he played his hand.

    guess i should explain why.....i just don't know why he chose that river to shove after minbetting the turn. Even if the fish has half a brain he has to know that river hits you both hard.

    I also never raise turn btw. Calling can never be a huge mistake though given the money in there etc.
