calling station min raises here, i know im pretty well dead to a lot of boats, and higher flushes, but can still extract value from his bluffs (which should be rare) and his overpairs with a spade, Ax hands with 1 spade, as well as a 4 as well. so i decide b/c is good line here
River: ($0.98) 9♥ (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG2 bets $0.26, Hero calls $0.26.
river is a blank. so i can call the .26 on river profitably.
Final Pot: $1.50
Results follow (highlight to see):
UTG2 shows a full-house, eights full of fours (8d 8c)
Hero shows (9s 7s)
UTG2 wins with a full-house, eights full of fours (8d 8c)
being OOP for whole hand allows me to get to pot control and see a showdown without having to fold to a bigger raise on turn or river. I may check behind river if IP but only because I labeled him a calling station. I figured he had a MONSTER. LOL
You ain't able to Call the river anyways.
