As soon as you bet pot and get 2 callers I am done with the hand. The turn looks like it improved your hand but it didn't.

How do you RERAISE?! That's the worst option, I think calling is worse than folding...and WTF were you in this hand to start with? You LIMP with UTTER trash...if you're gonna play trash, RAISE.

Staple this to your forehead


"I CANT BEAT A MIN CHECK RAISE ON THE RIVER UNLESS I HAVE THE NUTS"

Coupla points after reading through the whole thread:

First, while I wouldn't play this hand, I would be playing A6s, 76s, etc. in LP, and on this board, they all really amount to the same hand.

Second, I would also bet the flop, but this is very simply a "Did everyone miss?" bet. And you then get your answer: They didn't or they're not giving up anyway.

The turn then improves your hand against any naked PP (which I still consider possible, but the fact that they didn't bet makes it fairly unlikely) but not against any 8, which is just as likely as a 6 at this point. So, the check is good.

My plan at this point would be just to call a reasonable bet on the river. I think you win this hand often enough to justify that play.

But betting the river is the real mistake in this hand imo. It's unlikely that they'll call with any hand that you beat (unless they're complete donks), and it's at least 50-50 that you're behind.

Ice misread the setup...i didn't be INTO people, it checked around to me on the BUTTON, then i bet.
Blackknit is a semi pro???

Aisthesis makes good points.

An ole strong farmer was working with his tractor one day, and accidentally got his good right arm cut off...everyone makes mistakes. Being the stout man and with good character he was, he drove himself to the fancy hospital in town. They took him to the expert surgeon and the farmer asked him how much it would cost to put his arm back on....oh, about $15000.
$15000!!! the farmer said, that's outrageous! You scam witch doctor!
So he goes to the country doctor and asks him how much...the country doctor says, you poor man, don't worry about the cost, here let me fix it right away. While he was fixing it, he said, oh, i'll charge you only about $1500...and the farmer thought, that's more like it...his arm was fixed and seemed to be fine.
Next day he goes back to the fancy high price expert doctor, and says, hey! I got it fixed for $1500....Here's what i think of you! And he gives his right arm an upper cut motion with his left arm blocking it horizontally at the bicep.
HIs right arm goes flying into the air, with both men watching it fly off.
