Trishan I don't believe I have ever insulted you when discussing a hand.

So you sir can DIAGF!

Now results are I snap. I figure I beat the majority of his range that he would be willing to call with and most 888 players at these stakes seem to like to bluff bet the river with a pot bet.

I call after deliberating for several seconds and he rolls K 4 off suit.

Welcome to my world and my $1K downswing. I have turned four full houses today to be two outered on the river.

I am depressed.

Any 9, any Ace, busted draws, KQ, lower pockets, sets, two pairs (which I don't think he has)

I'm not like that. I want guys like that playing every time I three bet.

I might scream or swear loudly when it happens but those types of players are what keeps the poker economy turning over.

Also I don't ever abuse another player, it's not in the spirit of the game and those that do are just insecure idiots whose parents didn't hug them enough.

If you're not willing to do it in real life, then the fact you're siting behind a keyboard shouldn't change the way you act. Anything different and you're just a coward.

I had a similar spot with a shove on the river into me. I guess it's always a call, because since I had the K of clubs I couldn't think of many combinations of clubs he could have. This player was very Loopy/Loose Passive. Post-flop is probably bad by me, so any advice there against this type of player would greatly help.

Any stats on villain Muzz?

Need to define his starting hand range better.

Hand range can vary from KJ through to AA. With that whole range and that shove I would probably still call expecting to chop. LOL.

But the way he has called down like that after flatting pre means one of several things:

1.) Straight draw off the flop, hit on river.
2.) Flush draw, hit on the river.
3.) Possible sets, but the river shove doesn't make sense. And most sets will be raised on later streets.
4.) I also think he may be overplaying AJ or AQ.

I honestly don't think I could find a fold here. Only hand that beats me is a combination of clubs.
