    Default Fold on the river?

    I'm only losing to J-J and K-Q here, but I don't see how he could've had anything other than K-Q. It was just way too hard to lay down a set of 10's in this situation.

    You're also losing to 78...

    Instead of the "I knew it comment" - if you're gonna call, tell him what he has beforehand, say you haven't played him enough to fold this time, and then at least you actually look like you have a read on him rather than like you just made a retarded play. If "you knew it" - you woulda folded.

    All that said - super hard hand to laydown.

    I'm talking about likely raising hands which have me beat at this point.

    Everyone folds to me in CO with 78s. My choices are: 1) fold, 2) raise. I raise with 78 there... and the rest of the hand plays out the same.

    ^ Agreed... I raise suited connectors from the button or CO all day long. However I think this is more common in 6max than full ring.
