    hmmm, interesting.
    The villian hasnt shown any weakness by betting flop , and turn and pushing.

    This may be just a button play getting high in testosorome as you see too often here lol.

    I say fold due to no reads, but a call isnt horrible i dont think.

    I call. Its a big bet sure, but if you're worried about losing your bankroll then you're playing above levels.

    This is terrible reasoning IMO. The question isnt about playing above levels or losing your bank roll.

    This is a bit of tough spot. Your opponent hasnt shown any weakness but the range of hands he could have is quite large. I would let my time run down and then make a crying call.

    It certainly isn't a value bet. Most likely is TT or A9, he just doesnt want to see a high river. A set or 96 are unlikely. There really isn't much he can have that beats you.

    He could well have 5-7 and have bet the double gut shot. I certainly would have if it was checked around to me. Its 50/50 for me here really. I'd probably fold giving him credit for realising that 2 pair is very likely for the BB here after it was not raised pre-flop. Its an un-raised pot and I hate going broke in an unraised pot. I think you should have bet the turn instead of check raising though. Bah who am I kidding. I probably call

    Well, i taught about it until i almost ran out of time and taught it would be unusual for a set or straight to push like this so i figured him for 2 pair or protecting TP with A9 or the like and called although i did think hard about folding. He Had 57 but with so many seeing a flop i just wondered if i could get away from it, as Bob said i hate going broke on a unraised pot.
