    i figure he was on a draw and hit on the river or he has Q or K and decided to bet since i checked the river. I lean more towards the str8 or flush though. As he quick called my flop and turn bet and that's usually a draw.

    To answer your question. The river is a snapcall too. You're getting better than 5-1 and you've committed far too many chips to fold for those kinds of odds.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    shove turn, as played snapcall river.
    If you're going to play 50bb deep, then you need to learn how to play 50bb deep.

    Canada; the country all tucked away down there...
    Difficult to see him ahead on turn so yeah shove it while the money is good. There are too many cards that can land on river that make a decision difficult....as it ended up happening....

    And if for some reason you didn't ship it on the Turn.



    PLEASE Call the River ....................

    Snap Snap Snap

    Please .....................

    i agree that i should of just shoved the turn but i think calling the river is questionable The typical range here for a 2nl player as played is as follows
    1He was calling down with Kx or Qx and decided to raise since i checked.
    2he was slow playing a big hand like a set.
    3 he hit is draw
    4 he missed his draw and bluffed the river

    This is a time when i wish my stoxev still worked. Next time i'll just ship the turn and save myself the trouble

    ok if he has any pair+ our ev is 1.20 just not sure how much we should weight this to a completed flush or str8 .
