Hi all,
Flop: c-bet on a "mediocore" flop. Into one opponent should be fine. I didn't have enough hands for making stat-based postflop decisions, but the villain looked fishy: 31/9/32.
Turn: FD completed. The opponent shows no aggression. Good.
River: I got straight, and he donks the pot. My thinking was:
a) well, he would start building up the pot on turn, if he had a flush.
b) he might have pocket 7s...
c) even if he has a straight, most likely we'll just split (it's better than folding).
I'm not entirely sure though...he might still have a flush (theoretically) or a higher straight (although our straight is not strictly inferior).
If he pushed...I would fold (and cry). His pot bet is pretty strong as well...but I decided to call with my straight.
What do you think?
TY
