Anyone fold this turn to that incredibly scary min-raise? I hated this hand from the time the flop action went down and I really really really wanted to fold the river, but I couldn't do it, and I paid for it.

I dont think I raise the flop and Im pretty sure I would check behind on the turn if I raised the flop and got 2 callers.

One of them HAS to have a J and I dont like my kicker. 55 also worries me.

LIve and learn I guess, it's this kind of crap that continues to kill my winrate.

Here's another one of my stupid plays of the day the total of which cut about $200 out of my profits for the day.

Ok, he called, time to somewhat consider the possibility of him having a 6, but I'm gonna bet the turn to really find out.

Turn: ($10) (2 players)
Hero bets $7, UTG raises to $14, Hero raises to $25, UTG calls $11.

Wow, I got min-raised, looks like he DEFINATELY has a 6, but I refuse to believe it and continue to think he's just got a Q, ok so I raise to $25 to definately, definately, definately find out if he's got a 6. Yep, he called, ok, there is nothing left in the world that he could have besides a 6, time to give up on the hand.

River: ($60) (2 players)
Hero bets $20, UTG calls $20.

Oh wait, what just happened here? Did I just BET the river?!?!? How stupid can I possibly be? What's he gonna do, fold a 6? Nope.

Final Pot: $100
