    Default 50NL - Strong hand, but what do I beat?

    I've got a decent hand, what with only pocket overpairs, the last 3, and pocket 77 beating me, but then again, what other hands would he raise the river with? He might be getting stupid with a 7 or 88-TT but more likely he'd flat with those, yes?

    Call or Fold?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($51.50)
    SB ($9.50)
    BB ($51.25)
    UTG ($32.60)
    UTG+1 ($29.25)
    MP1 ($73.35)
    Hero ($26.95)
    CO ($53.95)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J, K.
    3 folds, Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, Button calls $2, 2 folds.

    Flop: ($4.75) 3, 7, J (2 players)
    Hero bets $3, Button calls $3.

    Turn: ($10.75) 3 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button checks.

    River: ($10.75) 3 (2 players)
    Hero bets $4.5, Button raises to $20, Hero ??

    all-in, even tho you're probably splitting. Maybe if he's terrible he'd play a flush like this tho.

    Quit yer halfstacking if you've got problems getting it in :P

    yeah but he's not calling a shove with a flush unless he's reaaaaaaaaalllly bad.

    KK ingame I called and he held the 77. Maybe I'm being results oriented, I did expect a split was most likely but didn't see much chance of it being a straight up win for me.

    And btw I did stop halfstacking, it was nice for a week but now I'm back to normal, just that hand came around before I could refill. Halfstacking just takes away too many options and wasn't as good vs the fishes.

    you can't fold
    calling leaves you with $1
    raising is the only other option

    fold
    jk, all in

    Place where I can spew
    There no way you can get out of this pot.
    Your line is more of a bare A/air then something else.

    It took me 2-3 minutes after opening this thread to realize there was text in it...

    Nice Avatar Keilah...

    Half-stacking makes this an EASY river decision...
    Hey knucklehead! Bonk!
