Karen668 :

This guy literally just sit down, so I don't have reads on him. I know some of the things I'm supposed to consider, but I'm not sure how to put them all together.

1. The board is paired, so I should be worried about a full house? But with the top card paired on the turn it's also possible that he's got trips?

2. He flat called two streets and then suddenly bet on the river, so he could have a flush and my flush isn't the nut flush. But then, he's only bet a small amount and it could be a baby flush or some weird bluff?

3. The bet size is so small... is he not confident or does he want to sucker me in?

i'd just calll here

if you raise he rarely calls without anything u can beat(i.e. he usually wouldnt be calling without A x spades, or K x spades, full house)

so if u raise and he really is weak, he folds. but if you raise and he insta shoves you...you shit ur pants

so ye..against weak fish..u often will find value here from a reraise...but in general....just flat calling is fine.

dont make a habit of chasing weak flushes on paired boards http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/469891 (couldnt find a better hand so this will have to do)

Kilay: I could fap like 3-4 times a day and still have enough left for some chicks that stop by or whatever....I think I am inhuman....

ez shove

I beat off to a wide range of porn. || Actually, the $2/5 live plays a lot like $5/10 online and the $5/10 plays a lot like $10/20 online. // AvidGambler
