Ugh I can’t even tell you how gross the weather is in Boston right now. It is so humid, and my window fan is doing nothing. I really was in no mood to play poker today, and I think it showed. Here’s my bustout hand from the FTP 750K:

I don’t want to post my reasoning for the call yet, because I’m curious whether you all think it was ridiculous. I was really, really torn, but I wonder if I was just overthinking it. I started a thread on 2+2 as well.
Fold K 10.
Get an air conditioner you cheap ass.
I don’t get your line. The pre-flop raise is small, such a sweetner or a “come on in the water’s fine” raise.
But then you check through on the flop and turn. Unless this guy was a check-raise-addict, I think you should at least fire at the turn.
I get the river call depending on your view of the player, but I hate how you put yourself in that spot.
