OK guys & gals, I know the call on river was totally stupid but I would just like to know your thoughts on improving the way I play the rockets. I have been having a shocking run with them lately and find myself expecting to get sucked out both live and online.

I agree its totally fine, however you should be folding to the river shove.

I don't like getting it all in here with one pair.

The turn check and river shove kinda looks like a flush.

That is what makes it even worse.... I had him on high pair and still freaking called it!!! My head told me to fold but my hand hit the call button.

I cannot think of a hand that he shoves for value on the river that we beat.

Be interesting to see how villian plays it if the river isn't a K though.

Yeah as I originally said, I know the river call was totally stupid. I still don't understand why I called as I would have folded there 99% of the time.
