    You have to call the river after you call the flop and turn!!!!!!! It's only 1 more bet

    the Ten doesn't make a flush and 79 already had a straight so if you felt your hand was best on the turn you have to call the river. I hope you weren't calling the flop and turn to catch a boat with all them low cards out there, you should only be calling here if you think your hand is best and likely to remain best. it is unlikely someone has a boat based on the action

    I would have bet out on the flop. how you played it I would have folded on the turn since I'm playing for 1/2 the pot

    Looking back on the history I'm confused. I thought I DID fold on the turn. Either the hand history is screwed, or I am.

    If you folded the turn thatn you played it pretty good.

    from the 3 HH's you posted you need to pick up your aggression post-flop, but most people who play O8 are in the same boat.

    You also thought there were extra people left in the other hand you played. maybe you were hallucinating.
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.
