Any thoughts on how I could save chips in these kind of situations? Raise the flop maybe, to get more information?

On an unrelated note, is my river call any good? I didn't think he would show up with a king, unless he had AK. I thought he would have a random ace, a lower pair, a trey or a straight draw more often then not. I didn't have any reads on my opponent, since this is part of a rush poker game.


Thank you for your insight,

If you have a read that villain limps small pocket pairs preflop you can probably fold on the river. I think calling here is fine though without that read given the price you are getting.

" Raise the flop maybe, to get more information?" never do it!

it is only 3reason for bet :

1)valuebet

2)bluffs

3)take dead money agains hand witch have some equity agains you

raise for information is bad :if he shove-you have information you aren´t good and fold (but he still can have draw) ->that useless information

if he fold->you know you was better ->again useless information

raise 1/4 stack for take useless information is´nt good idea

i call the flop and the turn,if he bets normally river i fold ,bet he bet small ->it is closer
