No real read on Villan as he just sat down about 5 hands ago. He has $30 and has me covered.

NL$25 on Empire

Couple people limp in, Villan raises to $1 from MP, 3 folds to me. I reraise to $2 with (For the record I don't like my min reraise here...I don't believe it accomplished anything). One of the limpers calls and Villan Calls.

Pot = $6.35
Flop
Limper bets .75, villan cold calls, I raise to $3 (good move?). Limper folds and villan just cold calls again.

Pot = $13.10
Turn =
Villan checks, I check???

River =
Villan bets $12. Hero??? I know I enticed this bet with the check on the turn, but I think I am beat here. There are so many hands that beat me.

What's the play?

-twelver

Raise more or flat call preflop
Raise more on the flop
The turn is ok based on the previous action and I would fold the river.

With that betting sequence at this level he could have anything from KK to a hand with a 5 in it, like A5 suited. If you intend to go fwd with this hand, I think you need to bet at least half the pot on the turn. The way it played out, with the check, I think he probably read you as weak. But without betting at it, there's no way to determine his hand. In this context I think its a good fold.

Agreed with iceman on every point.....


I fold the river because the draw hit..and an overcard...

true you enticed a bet but there is so much out there beating you.
