Hi. Still alive and struggling through .5/1. I've been using my learning time to read articles for the last weeks but now I'll try to post some hands before Elephant updates clear my tagged hands (again).
Stats are broken in Elephant so I'm leaving them out.
1) 0.5/1 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

River: (11.00 BB) 8♦ (2 players)

Can I raise turn here or just call for my outs?
Besides, call or fold river? I usually stick to the "If on the river you have any pair, even if it isn't the top pair or better, and you only have one opponent, you should call his bet in any case" rule and the pot was quite big here.
