8/16 good game, loose lots of decent pots.

My table image is in shreds, I have been getting lots of raising broadway cards with multiple callers, and folding turns after whiffing, or getting cr'd when outdrawn, down 2-3 racks and seem easy to play against.

I limper to me in CO, I raise with AJo, BTN, BB and limper call. 4 BB

Flop comes Axx with 2 diamonds, I do not have a diamond. 2 checks, I bet, 2 callers, 1 fold. 5.5 BB

Turn is a diamond. Check to me, I bet, only BTN calls. 7.5 BB

River is a 4th diamond. I check, BTN bets, I fold.

Tough spot. If you fold every time you’re in this spot you’ll be too easy to play against. If you’re running bad a player with a weaker Ace without a diamond is more likely to take a shot at you.


If this is an autofold you are easy to play against. Heads up this is a crying call a lot of the time.

Its not an autofold. Thats why I posted. I almost called because what Bruce said above.It was a great spot to take a shot at me. In slightly bigger pot I am calling against 90% of the population.


Unless guy is a Nit who would never bet anything other than the Ace in this spot. I'd RAISE!


If the guy has a fold button. I would bet the river as a bluff.


He was an unknown. I should have bet river or called. Pot was one of those small-mid pots I give up on probably too much. One or two more bets I at least call if not bet the river.


Pretty standard call for me. You enticed the player to bluff, and you are definitely good 1 in 8 times. I think folding is a mistake.
