    Default Whats the river play? ($25NL)

    Villian is new, no stats or reads yet. Is my line fine? On the river he definitely thinks he has a big hand but what is it? He might have called flop with overs, flush draw, pp or trips. I would expect a raise on the turn with trips although he might slow play I suppose, overs now seem less likely. The raise on the river could be trips, or a good ace/2pair. A split with 99 is possible I guess, only KQ or Q9 is beating me and that seems a highly unlikely holding unless they are diamonds. Should I push or just call?

    You have to call 5 to win 25. Thats 2.5:1 (since most of your wins are actually chops).

    He has K9 wayyyy less than 1/3 of the time here easy call. He also hardly ever has a worse hand and calls with it even less often so dont raise.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    Now this is great advice. There I am on the river pleased as punch that he has raised me and I happily push over thinking that I beat almost everything he has. I neglect to consider that there are very few hands he would raise on this board. I thought he would stack off with all sorts of rubbish. He turned over KQo which is a ridiculous hand to have called me down to the river with but I then threw all my money at him so I'm the donk. God I suck at poker

    ouch yea, obviously called the $1 thinking you was c-betting, then figured oh wow a straight draw! and puts another $3

    Oh yeah I thought he'd had a gutshot on the turn but it's open ended. Must stop rewarding people's hopeful chases
