At the time of the hand, i had no reads/stats on villain.
How often is our hand good here?
What is our hand beating on this river?
97 gets there, along with flash draws.
Can he really be turning Tx into a blaff?
Did i play this hand unbelievably bad?

Discuss please

$9 on turn for river shove.

As played not much you can do, fish do c/c, c/c lead with their draws when they get there. Nothing bricked on river.

what about it? Tx is still top pair and people are calling machines. you give up more in value by not continuing to bet into a random than you save by checking.

+1 (fold)

To fold or not to fold, that is the question; whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the humiliation of making a bad call or by folding end them?

Never argue with Hamlet.

97 and Flush gets there after he plays his hand like a draw, looks like an extremely easy fold. A lower flush card that doesn't complete the straight is still going to be a fold too.

I had 77 and flop came Q73cc (limped pot I was in BB), I lead pot he calls. Turn is an offsuit 9, I pot he calls. River is the Jc. I bet/fold 1/2 pot. He insta min-raises me. I punch myself in the face and call, he turns over T8hh.
