    snap call and laugh at his two pair!
    Or cry at his set of queens or 4 5 off suit!

    hmmmmm what's tough about it? 

    QQ? - wud he 3 bet from the button here? - surely he wud,and deffo raise the flop and/or turn......

    77? - meh set over set, if he floats and binked the miracle, swear and open another tin.

    45? - does he call pre with this hand? - no?  Would he raise the turn with it? - yes?

    Just call.......

    my exact thought process...

    anyway i called , villain shows 7-7 jst a cooler i know

    after figuring he has either 4-5 or 7-7 can i possibly fold river? is he shoving less?

    ...prob thinkin bout it too much

    What site is this on? I learnt playing for a bit last week, that they do always show up with the hand on PS, I don't know how they manage to have the goods every single time.

    Missed flush? Do they ever shove after a river value bet? - probably never, looks like ur never folding....

    33? - probably, but why wouldn't he have raised flop/turn.

    AQ? - no, he shouldn't be shoving anyway.

    So you can't fold, but you can't put him on a hand u can beat either.........

    Familiar story for me, sigh, call, sigh again, reload.

    lol on sky at 30nl you have to call and it's most definitely a profitable one.

    You're ahead 99% of the time........even in full ring games.

    In fact the money all goes in on the flop and turn, and your opponent shows queen 8 off suit. Easy game.

    I haven't enough experience on the better sites to know how tough this spot is, but I can't see myself ever folding with the stacks as they are, so it's an easy decision for me until I know different.

    Why don't you play here???

    i do play on sky, i love it, love all the donks hehe generally only play tournaments tho

    i find theres a hugely different dynamic to the cash games tho, fed up of raising 6x utg with KK and getting 4 callers 6-handed....ppl betting into 4-5 opponents with A high, calling gutshots 4 stacks....sometimes its almost like raising loses its value and im better off seeing cheap flops with ATC and playing a shrewd drawing game


    its weird on here...when u run decent u make a shed load of money, but when u dont the beats on here are the worst ive seen
