Why did you fold?

I wouldn't have. Do you really think he's calling a $2 raise
with suited connectors pre-flop? He's got OK position but
I'm guessing unless he's nuts or he's Dan Negreanu he
folds.

The odds of him having a set of cowboys is too remote to
worry about.

I would call that one.

My guess he's got TPTK.

I wouldn't have checked the river or folded. Woulda put him all in probably. I can't imagine what hand he would hold to have you beat on the river, and still make it plausible that he called all those bets along the way.

I prolly wouldn't have checked the river unless i was planning to c/r him, which you obviously weren't. Just shows you feared the str8 and he capitalized on your aggression backing down. Even if i bet and he came over the top of me on the river i'm likely calling there. Unless he was calling you down with 88 and got lucky catching that river, i don't see another hand that plays that way he would push with there. Call.

56s is only had you have to worry about.

Could be a big K.
Could be busted flush draw.

I think i pay off the dude.

The AI is suspicious like a busted draw, rather than a made draw. If one knows that they have the nuts then you want to make a good old value bet and get paid off (ususally).

Why no bet on the river? If you bet and he pushes, then you can make a decision. Him just pushing after your check could be any number of hands but I think a very small percentage of those hands make a straight or higher trips.

I don't know what to think. Im done calling huge river bets because over the last few days I do that and I get my ass kicked.

Dammit, I always take too long to write my replies!

So um yeah... what they said.

I think you may be playing from a bad place lately, my friend. Maybe a few days off from poker is a good idea - read some books, read over the site, but don't play. Get into a better frame of mind and come back to it. It seems like your decisions now are more informed by fear (of a bad beat, of the hidden monster) than by your instincts and poker logic. That's natural if you're in a downswing, but you have to do something about it. Playing through it may not be the road for you.

Back to this hand - the only reason I'd check the river would be to induce a bluff, which is what that all-in from him looks like to me. The only plausible hand he could have that actually puts him ahead of you is 56, or maybe a badly misplayed KK or 88. That stuff does happen, but I think it's more likely he has KQ or something like that.

Wish someone had given me this advice a week ago . Cost me a couple bills to come to that conclusion on my own.

It's still a clear call.

Bet the river and see if he raises or goes all in and decide from there.Hopefully he didn't call with some weird suited combination that gives him the straight.

I also advise some time off as well like a day or two(as I did earlier this week).It helps,I already took down like $75 today.

Checking the river is fine too in hopes of getting the guy to bite if he missed a flush draw.

I dropped a bunch of buyins today in about 45 minutes, dropped down to .5/1 NL and overbet every hand I had. (45 bucks into a 6 dollar pot with a flopped flush.) Then I went back to my normal grind a little bit happier.
