    i dont see anything wrong with this. since the pot is reletively small, i might even call this. villain could have a med/lower PP here also.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    Yea...this oop float line always frustrates me a little. I usually just let them have it unless I've seen it a couple times. I think it's often a bluff or K, but sometimes a low pair block betting/bluffing.

    Lately I've been working on mixing up cbetting with a check behind on the flop and bet turn, or cbet and advanced block betting on the turn of like 1/3-1/2 pot (if they don't raise on a bluff), or 2 barreling. It might be worth a small turn block bet here...not sure though.

    I call these too much, but I know it is a leak. I tend to think he could have missed a four flush and is trying to pick up the pot on your missed c-bet. I guess he could just as easily missed a turn CR with your check behind.
    I am confused in this spot as well. I call, but I believe your fold is the correct play. How stupid does that sound.
    Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

    You could start betting the turn more and checking behind the river with showdownable hands. You could bet probably$6-$9 here and see a showdown fairly often. You'll see middle and bottom pair here more than you think.
