    Meister,

    I'm folding here! Doesn't a T make a lot of sense? Are you telling me that you're putting him on a suicide bluff?

    I guess I should have said this was from the Rush tables. However, the only hands that would be calling, out of position, with a MP1 raise are AT (flopped the nuts), KT or TT. I have to believe that not only am I going to expect to see a lot of action prior to the river with an OESD + pair, but I wouldn't expect him to try to get it all in on the river.

    I don't know; lately I've been finding these spots - seeing these "holes" where I'm getting thin value out of my hands. I'm betting rivers where I would normally check through for fear that my opponent hit his hand. Not only that, but I'm getting the calls from the lesser hands.

    I don't know if this is an aberration or this is the way poker is meant to be played, but I feel like if I'm getting stacked on the river with top set, so be it. Checking through the river is not netting me extra value; particularly when I just hit the second nuts. In my mind, it doesn't make sense for the BB to show up with a T. It makes more sense that he's making his delayed play on the river, thinking his 2 pair are good. It's actually kind of shocking that he's stacking off so light with a naked King.
