Hey all, first time poster. Pretty new to poker and just moved up to 5NL after crushing 2NL at just under +40bb/100bb over 4k hands. Not a huge sample but I found the game pretty easy. So far at 5NL I'm break even after about 1.5K hands and find the game a lot tougher. I've also started studying From the Ground Up and find that it's changed the way I play quite a bit and maybe there's an adjustment period needed before I really reap the benefits.

Anyways. On to why I'm posting. I had this hand the other night after running REALLY bad against the villian. He probably won 2BI off me throughout the night. Twice he flopped sets on me and a few other times he outdrew me. Anyways, here was a hand where I made a call on the river even though I felt I was sure I was beat. Is this a bad call? Why or why not? Any advice would be awesome.

Also, I'm really stoked on this forum. Reading through some of the posts and hearing the insights of the people who frequent this board feels like quite the luxury.

Best,
Kuby
