    You gotta check. The board just straightened and flushed. Call a bet around 1/2 pot or less, fold to a pot-sized bet.

    Check. On FTP, I'd definitely call the pot on most rivers. People are lazy. I wouldn't call an overbet, though.

    Turn: ($23) 7 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks.

    River: ($23) T (2 players)
    SB bets $8, Hero calls $8.

    Final Pot: $39

    *** SHOW DOWN ***
    spacebaler12: shows [8c 9c] (a straight, Six to Ten)
    PJ94Z: shows [Jh Jd] (two pair, Jacks and Sixes)
    spacebaler12 collected $37.15 from pot


    Had to call this right? What do you think he has ? Is it right to check turn or should I have kept betting for value ?

    This was the 7th pot I lost to the river yesterday. Un real.

    Yeah you have to call that river. The problem I see with checking is it shows so much weakness you are almost certain he's gonna bet the river and you won't know where you're at. But the board is very scary so I do see everyones point, you want to keep the pot small here.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.
