    Default Pay him off?

    No hand history, but here's a summary.

    Open-raise 3x from button with KK. Big blind calls (he is solid/tricky).

    flop is K 9 3 (two hearts). BB checks, I bet 3/4 pot

    turn is a black 7. BB checks, I bet 3/4 pot.

    River is 4 of hearts. BB bets pot...

    Since BB is the only one in the pot, you almost have to pay him off here. Especially since he is solid/tricky. He could have 2 hearts in his hand, but a "solid" player wouldn't be chasing a FD against the odds. You are getting about 2 to 1 to call. I think you have to call.
    I study at KRE8R's School of Bankroll Management.

    If you IM me looking for money or a trade, you will be blocked.

    was this early in tournament? I would have just pushed the turn after he called my flop

    live game, deepstacked.


    He made a "rainbow" toss with the chips on the river when betting. Caro says this is likely a bluff. Navarro says it is likely strength.

    no other reads...

    We can disregard the statement about him being a solid player by his call PF.

    Online - if it was deep stacked and I had a load of chips left I'd consider folding but it would be fucking tough.

    Live - with him throwing his chips in like that I'm calling. I agree with Caro.

    I'd go with Navarro and fold it (only cos I thought his book was better than Caro's ).

    jharding - he could still be a solid player calling pf, I'm not always 3betting this and quite often will just set mine with mid pairs etc.

    Online I go "son of a bitch" and call.
    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.

    Yeah I guess calling PF isn't that bad
