This is what happens when you play like a calling station donk!!! ha ha wounded!

To be honest i think however i played it im losing my money here?

Well I'd be raising the button for starters. Hand probably plays out the same but should still be coming in for a raise.

As played, when you click it back on the river and he still wants to plow more money in, might have to consider finding the fold, as hard as it is. JJ is very possible, as is 99, maybe even 89 and 88. It's difficult to see what we beat when he r/r us on the river.

Id noticed pre any made hand with him was £4 so i wasnt really thinking any sort of house on the river? maybe a 9 of a flush but all said i played it like a donk! No complaints

i think myself that if it were not for the betting poker would be just another form of gambling that is pure luck.

with this hand having just limped in pre and called the flop and turn i think the safest thing to do is just call the river because the board now has caused a coin toss one day he could be holding AXs or Q10 so therefore you are ahead but othertime you will be facing better full houses and on this occasion their is even the risk of straight flush.

I went down the route of playing it like a donk calling station which i got my punishment for but im never just calling on the river so once he puts me all in im going with it! Good luck to him it was a nice hand
