NL5 bad river card and weak donk bet

edited May 2012 in The Poker Clinic
River is the worst card in the deck for me, do we call given the odds?

This is one of the 5p/5p action tables (players are generally really bad)

    I d call.Could be a blocker bet with a weak ace. We only have to be winning 1 in 9 times(or something like that) to make the call +EV .

    I think it's a call on the river. We should never be raising that river here IMO. Behind a lot of the time but we're getting 9/1. The price we're getting means this is a call, as I think that 60p is a blocker bet with a worse ace enough of the time.

    I agree, it's a call. We can't fold given the pot-odds, we can't raise and expect to be called by worse. No reason to raise as a bluff since we have reasonable showdown value and the cost of trying to bluff out two-pair hands would be pretty high. We'd need to believe that our opponent is capable of making the fold, too, and won't just station us.

    For what it's worth, I'd have played it exactly the same as you at every stage.

    Call the weakest of value bets and see his flush. No choice at the odds though, and expect thats why its so small as more we aren't going to call.
