I just called flop raise to catch him on turn/river, the turn was a bad card. But i decided to call and re-eval river...but what do I do? My thought process was that 8x would value bet - why the overbet? My instinct said call, but I was really torn.

Villain is 60/14/0.25

OK, so I've nearly completed my op. Lots of focus and in 5 days I've played about 7k hands and transformed $50 into $1000. Largley helped by 1st and 2nd places in a $4 180.

Here's my cash graph

[Setzy]

Looks good man, and fast results too..are you going to set a goal for November or start another operation?

[Muzzard]

Downsing time! weeeeeeeeeeee

If I can finish this op then I'll start a new op for November! But so far I haven't managed to get across the hurdle. 800 is the current toal, I've just donked off circa 150-200 on about 300 hands

EDIT: Now playing badly, so I'm gunna take a few hours off have some food and come back refreshed and in the zone to complete the op tonight.

BR= 795

FYP

[Muzzard]

SB checks, Hero bets $4, MP raises to $17.65, SB raises to $26.2, Hero pushes

FYP

They are both all-in, so calling/pushing are the same.

UPDATE: Not played much as my compuer f'ed up and had to re-install everything!!! GAAHHHHHHHH

[daven]

true, my bad. Good call then - standard. If you are behind to a flush then you have outs. I think you are against 33 and Ahx here a lot
