Hard decision, would handle it on notes. How you feel that session and things like that. You think your hand is 1 out of 5 times good? then call.

yep this is an easy call. if you are going to check the turn behind (which I think is the correct play here) you need to call this river almost always.

it says "uncalled bets 1BB back to the big blind"

therefore guy folded the river

therefore, not a nice hand.

Yup I folded that I'm going through my folded hands. I don't know what I was thinking.

All day meant call all day, just to clarify. NH because this is good spot for TVC.
