Preface: I'm now playing almost exclusively at Pacific Poker which has by far the worst looking and performing software, but the play there is significantly lower that the play at UB.

2/4 Limit
Villain is a typical, backwards, mucho-donkish type player.

Preflop, I'm in BB with 44.

UTG+1 raises, 3 cold-calls (told you it was donkish), SB calls, I call.
Villain is one of the MP cold-callers

Flop: K Heart 4 Spade 2 Diamond

I check, UTG+1 bets, 1 fold, Villain calls, 1 fold, SB calls, I call.

Turn: 8 Heart

I check, UTG +1 bets, villain raises, SB folds, I 3-bet, UTG +1 calls, villain caps, all call.

River: A Diamond

I bet, UTG +1 folds, villain raises....hero???

Ya raise it. get full value. The only hands that can beat you are 3 5(unlikely) or pocket aces kings and 8s.

Gotta raise that. He's likely sitting on aces up.

If it wasn't for the atrocious play at Pacific ... nobody would want to play there.

And yes, raise, given the way the hand played out you'd look weak if you didn't, even if he's got a bigger set somehow

Yeah well we capped the river and he turned over a badly played AA. I lose. 2-outers hurt my bankroll.
