1.) BB: calling station, SB: unknown

Well, it looks highly sure that I�m beaten on the river. But the pot is big -easy fold?

1) close, without sb behind us easy call, with sb still left to act it becomes closer and a fold is justifiable, even though i would call, but i am a cs :rolleyes:

2) i don't cap the flop; he shows quite a bit of strength;
if he has a pocket he has us beat=> we don't have an edge
if he has just a big A => we dominate him and don't want him to fold, but wouldn't win a lot anymore anyway + quite unlikely since most players wouldn't 3-bet the flop with A high

also, if we just call, we could c/r when we improve and often win another bet.

Thank you again :)

1.) I called although I was nearly sure that I make a mistake.
