    Default tough spot on river

    hey all, this is my first post here and was hoping to get some feedback on this hand. Im kind of lost to what to do here on the river. And im not sure if I could of played it better up until it...? Anyway, no real reads other then l.m555 was being pretty loose aggressive playing alot of hands and raising them considering he was fairly new to the table. And that he was in a hand with buenahoja2 who was being kind of tight a couple hands before mine. buenahoja2 had tried bluffing l.m555 on the river and l.m555 called him with ace high dry board.So dry it wasnt that much of a hero call if ya know what i mean. Anyway I thought id throw that out there even though I* think its kind of irrelevant with my hand.

    I think it's fucking retarded that people can't convert hands until they have 10 posts. Like seriously wtf and why?

    Don't see the need to raise the flop so big, you're folding out underpairs and junk anyways by raising smaller and losing less the times they have Jx Qx that they can't fold. Just make it like pot.

    Turn check is good.

    As for the river you need to be good 18% of the time, it only takes a couple of dumb Jx/random spazz combos in his range to make this the case. You'll lose here at least 75% of the time, but it's prolly still a call.

    yea.

    Spammers with HH converters that didnt have a 10 post block were behind 9/11 .

    I think the minimum posts should be increased to 100 at least . IMHO.

    You just never know, you just never know.

    It's not just HHs that they're blocked from posting.

    in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz
    use weaktight | fold when you know you're beat to convert imo
    Raise flop smaller, continue to bet almost any turn, but not that one. Well done that

    River is a no brainer call. raising doesn't accomplish much, and folding is out of the question with better than 4:1 pot odds and villain definitely having some Jx and totally random hands in his range.

    The strengh of a hero is defined by the weakness of his villains.

    I've often thought this myself. Why would we want noobies to be so damn annoying even though it's not their fault? Is there a perpose for this?

    Spoon could/would you explain how it helps?

    The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck."
