fold preflop

Normally I would, however, this table was loose and passive pre-flop. Few hands were being raised preflop while normally 4-6 see the flop. Even 97s is marginal for that situation, but I took a chance on it.

I called the raise based on 2 factors.
1. Almost 3.5 to 1 pot odds with huge implied odds.
2. If the flop hits my hand, it is very unlikely it hit the other hands. Basically, I was in fit or fold mode.

So anyway, I lost $1 due to a lower-end-of-marginal call.

The good news is I found the biggest leak in my game.

Hmmm.....seems to me the money went in after the turn which really makes this a 2 outer...........22:1. If you had gotten him all in before the turn....this would have been worse. As it is it just sucks royal moose cock

I didn't want to put him all on the flop. I took the guess that the flop didn't help him and he was making a C-bet. I raise there and he more than likely folds. Pot would have been nice, but I figured he would try again on the turn, which he did.

Overall, this hand went exactly as I wanted it to, except the river.

On the flop: 164 to 1 favorite
Turn: 22 to 1 favorite
River: Assuming the PokerStars position.
