    Default can hero fold river?

    Poker Stars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (6 handed) - Poker Stars Converter Tool from http://www.flopturnriver.com/

    CO ($4.75)
    Button ($3.35)
    SB ($4.77)
    Hero (BB) ($14.49)
    UTG ($11.71)
    MP ($9.79)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 6, 8
    UTG raises $0.15, MP calls $0.15, 2 folds, SB calls $0.13, Hero calls $0.10

    Flop: ($0.60) 6, 7, 3 (4 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $0.25, UTG calls $0.25, MP calls $0.25, 1 fold

    Turn: ($1.35) 6 (3 players)
    Hero bets $0.85, UTG calls $0.85, MP calls $0.85

    River: ($3.90) 3 (3 players)
    Hero bets $2.99, UTG raises $5.98, 1 fold, Hero calls $2.99

    Total pot: $15.86

    Results below:
    Spoiler:

    Hero had 6, 8 (full house, sixes over threes).
    UTG had 3, 3 (four of a kind, threes).
    Outcome: UTG won $15.07


    this is not stars either, its bovada zone. that's just how HEM does the HHs. but since were all 100BBs+ I assume im up against thinking villains.

    No. Hero should instead laugh at villain for minraising quads and losing all that juicy value.

    I wouldn't fold the river.

    STOP POSTING RESULTS!

    The results of any single hand don't matter. Think about ranges and equities.
    In any meaningful decision in poker, you will have incomplete information. Making the best choice in these situations is the game. When you focus on the complete information at the end of the hand, you set yourself up to believe that the result of where the money went matters. It doesn't. The result that matters is whether or not you made a good guess as to Villain's habits.

    You should be posting every tidbit of information you remember from the hand in the OP. Post pool reads in every thread. Post player reads (even if you have to guess). Post ranges for Villains (even if you have to guess) on every street/decision point for Villain.

    ***
    When you post hand results you imply that the above guess work doesn't matter, now that the info is in. That couldn't be further from the truth. Nothing you can do to study this hand will change the result of this hand. You can only study your habits and Villain's habits and refine your decision making process for future hands.

    ***
    :/
    I'm not saying that the individual hand results never matter, ever. I'm saying they don't matter in the context of a single HH discussion thread.

    If you did a dig on ranges, then after that, used the Bovada HH to check what Villains held, that could be educational.

    As played with villain just checking the turn, and raising the river, on NL5, he is better than trips.
    I would never fold to a river min-raise either, but I would not be surprised if I am beat.

    Yeah, can't think of a reason to do anything other than call.
