Trying to decide the range of hands he might be playing is near impossible in the first few hands at a micro limit table. He could be sitting on 62s, and decide that it's worth seeing the turn with. I played around today with trying to figure out such a range, but it simply gets too big. At these limits, I've seen players call preflop raises with anything-suited, and... Oh boy. There are easily 500 hands he might decide to play preflop. And, sadly, he'd probably continue with the majority of these to the turn.

I didn't have the odds to bet on the river, I don't think (which is a correct move only if he has a better hand than me but folds or has a worse hand than me and calls, one time out of 6*), but the flop bet looks alright to me. At the turn, I could either check, which is bad if he's on a draw, or bet which is bad if he has me beat already.

In retrospect, check-folding is perhaps the way I should have played it on the river. I just don't like opening myself up to a bluff that I have to fold to, and I also prefer being the aggressor rather than the slapped-around-one.

... Of course, it's not at all impossible that I *did* get bluffed.

* It's unlikely that he'll have a better hand than me and fold it. He might not call with a pair of deuces, 6-kicker, but almost any other hand he would. And there are very few hands that are worse than mine that he would call a river bet with (and not three-bet preflop with).
