    Hmmmmm. River CR's are usually huge hands at the micros. I still call getting 2-1 though. Maybe that's spew, but IDK. I often worry far too much about paying ppl off and big laydowns, and not enough about other more important aspects of my game.

    A read would be nice

    Not sure about 2 pair in this spot but I guess a set or lower str8 might do this so I should call. I payed the backdoored flush of course grr

    Ouch, but I think the right call. BB could just as easily have 9 7 and hit 2 pair on that board.

    What did he have exactly? He didnt have odds for a flush draw on flop or turn but check/called the whole way.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    I'd have to check when I get home but I'm pretty sure he didn't even have a pair. A great guy to play poker with, just unlucky for me on this occasion.
