    Default river decision with straight.

    Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.10 BB (5 handed) Ultimate-Bet Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($10.65)
    Hero ($10.04)
    UTG ($4.89)
    MP ($15.08)
    Button ($15.55)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 8, 7.
    1 fold, MP calls $0.10, 1 fold, SB completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($0.30) 6, 9, 9 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $0.2, MP folds, SB calls $0.20.

    Turn: ($0.70) A (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks.

    River: ($0.70) 5 (2 players)
    SB bets $0.4, Hero raises to $1.9, SB raises to $3.65, Hero calls $1.75.

    Final Pot: $8

    Not the most interesting hand....but just wondering if you guys call or push after being 3 bet on this paired board. Villain is 32/9/ after 70 hands. Pretty passive havent seen much betting/raising from his part....
    Does a push have value here.?

    The problem is: Most of your typical low limit players will go nuts on the turn with a FH here. So if he got you with a FH on the river. You get 2 notes out of it.

    First: Slowplays the nuts or near nuts
    Second: Waits till the river, even when a card that may have helped me catch up showed up on the turn. IE probably not the brightest player... Adjust accordingly.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes
