i was gonna comment on the seat. the only way you should stay in this seat is if the open seat is directly to your left. otherwise get the other seat. that said, i still raise this preflop even though i know i'm gonna be 4-way usually. postflop is weird. that flop is terrible for you so i might not bet it depending on how much i know about what these guys are gonna do if i check. you should probably check the river and not overcall a CO bet and call a btn bet.

Sometimes you don't have a choice what seat, and with both these players in the game I think it's a good game. I would check the river and do what miles says, though if CO bet and button folded, I would likely call because this guy is not passive and may think his K9 is good once you check what he figures is AK/AQ. if CO bet and button called, I would fold.

this game is fine. maybe better ones at .50/1.. but whatever. You played the hand fine until the river. You should check and call but not overcall imo.

yeah the game is good but there's an open seat and it's just worth commenting that he should move to that seat if if he can and it isn't the seat directly to his left. otherwise of course you're going to stay at a table with an 80/20 and 50/10

The game is good yes, the seat is terrible. With an 80/26 on my left there is no way i'm staying in this seat. Hes going to play every hand he thinks is playable regardless of what you do. Its almost the equivilent of playing from the small blind on every hand. If I can move to his left, great, if I can't Poker stars has lots more games as good as this one.
