so I'm propping on a really small poker site to switch things up, and because I would like tot ry and build up a third poker roll on a different site. Because of that I basically get paid to play, but I have to play shorthanded at whatever is available (which is making me a better player as a bonus). Today when I got in from my trip to Europe I decided to play some LHE and ended up HU at 3 different tables which keeps the action fast. I ended up at all 3 so it was a very successful session (small poker sites which foreign players still have lots of fish!!!!!).

This hande came up where I was really happy with my play, and ended up with a hilarious river value bet. I really thought my hande was likely ahead when I c/r'ed, and still wasn't convinced when he 3-bet me. I had enough outs to take a turn card which obviously gave me a flush draw that I had to call on the turn. On the river I thought there was a decent chance I could fold out better Ks, and any small pairs. Basically I wasn't sure if I could call a bet, but I wasn't sure if I should fold so I figured I would bet/fold it. There is a chance I could fold out better hands, I could easily fold if raised, and I guess there is always a chance that a worst hand might call......
