Re: Got away cheaply Were you chuffed because you also put him on a 9 too and knew you were outkicked? If so, why call the river bet too? I can make a case for calling the flop and turn bet to see if you got your full house or quads but not the river if you thought you were behind?

Re: Got away cheaply Fair comment. I dont think I was certain enough that I was beat (anyone who says "I know 100% he has XX" is lying, unless it's The Mole saying you have Jacks ;) ) to get away from it, but I was nervous enough from his betting patterns cumulatively to try and control the pot size and not risk my tournament at this stage. Is it not a case, by the river of weiging it up something like - "there's a 50% chance I'm ahead and a 50% chance I'm behind - I'm being offered 3-1 on an even money shot, I should call for the value" - of course, at the time I didn't weigh it up quite that precisely...... If I thought it was 70% likely I'm behind, but I'm offered 3-1, it's still a call isn't it on the river? I think I'm behind, but I have the right odds to call.... Maybe this is one of those occasions that I should "trust my read"? :unsure and steer away from the maths more?
