River is a black 2 and he bets....

What's the strongest hand youd fold on river? Do you just sigh and call with anything that can beat J high?

I definitely fold a Q and sometimes a K, given that dynamic/read/positions. Once you call the turn and he still bets the river, it seems that pro on pro violence is weighted towards value in these obvious semi bluff spots. Hence, the deviation. But there are two grains of salt here - 1) you're better than I am right now and 2) you were there and privy to any and all relevant metagame stuff.

One fun example from OL:

Guy opens SB, Megafish calls BB.

Flop K72ssc SB bets BB calls

Turn Jc SB bets BB calls.

River A SB bets BB raises SB 3! BB calls and pity rolls K7cc after seeing broadway.

I did an lol in chat to try to put him on tilt, when he asked what was so funny, I pointed out that raising works better when ahead (yeah yeah, tapping the glass but it's not going to dissuade this guy from continuing his donkish play).

On this note (pay attention to MP):

Merge - $15/$30 (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

MP: 7.37 BB (VPIP: 52.09, PFR: 3.74, 3Bet Preflop: 3.81, Hands: 220)
CO: 39.1 BB (VPIP: 35.19, PFR: 10.19, 3Bet Preflop: 4.26, Hands: 109)
BTN: 42.13 BB (VPIP: 52.03, PFR: 43.05, 3Bet Preflop: 39.11, Hands: 697)
Hero (SB): 63.23 BB
BB: 20.1 BB (VPIP: 35.46, PFR: 26.15, 3Bet Preflop: 14.89, Hands: 1,068)
UTG: 85.74 BB (VPIP: 30.92, PFR: 19.81, 3Bet Preflop: 13.86, Hands: 422)

Hero posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 0.5 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 0.9 BB) Hero has 6

fold, MP calls 0.5 BB, CO calls 0.5 BB, fold, Hero calls 0.1 BB, BB checks

Flop: (2 BB, 4 players) Q

Hero checks, BB checks, MP checks, CO checks

Turn: (2 BB, 4 players) 9

Hero checks, BB bets 1 BB, MP calls 1 BB, CO calls 1 BB, fold

River: (5 BB, 3 players) 8

BB bets 1 BB, MP calls 1 BB, CO raises to 2 BB, BB calls 1 BB, MP calls 1 BB

Ultimate mix game..dealers choice...there were like 20ish plaques to choose from. (we did take the big bet games out)

Came from a broken limit hold'em game to boot.

By "we did take the big bet games out", you mean except for PLO/8? If you didn't keep the 4 card version of that, you had to keep the 5 card. Otherwise, shame.

Bigo played limit style. .yes usually a big bet game but oddly played limit at parx. Super stud/bigO 8 running concurrently with our goofy game.

N no shame to me, big bet games and limit are oil n water.

I've never played dealer's choice in a casino, so forgive my naivete. Does the player on the button choose the game, or is it the actual doing-this-for-the-tips dealer?

The games we casino mix games we played, the mix was chosen by stacking the game placards. The dealer kept count of hands played vs. number of players, and the games went full rounds. 7 players meant 7 hands of a given game. In the choice games I've played (home-ish games), the person with the button threw out the card with the game he/she wanted and flipped the hi vs hi/low button to the desired side. One hand per chosen game. Haven't played dealer's choice in a casino, though.

Even when people call it "dealer's choice", that is not really generally how it works, even in a home game. If so, no one with any sense would ever call stud games, because the dealer position has such a big advantage in flop games.

Anytime I have played a mixed game in a casino, the players starting the game chose the mix, either by each player picking one game, or more often just through a general discussion. In home games, whoever was dealer first would pick a game, play it for a round, then the guy to his left would pick the game for the next round.

If the AC were out at work, I'd have nowhere to go.

Also, does that mean that you're headed to the comfortable confines of America's Friendliest (tm)?
