Play a hand with Oreo Part 3-turn/river

 Part 2 is Here

The turn is a 7 and considering I gave up control of the hand with my call on the flop I just check and he checks behind.
The river brings a 3 and I check again and he tosses in a chip (he is in the 1 seat and I'm in the 8 with the dealer between us).  I ask the dealer how much the bet is and he says 500.

Call or Fold?....or raise...

His bet is weak, it's one of two things:

1. He has a strong hand and wants to make sure he gets paid off, so he's betting small to make it easy for you to call, he doesn't want to scare you off

2. He's concerned that his hand may not be any good, but doesn't want to give up either. He makes a small bet to try and block you from pushing him out of the pot.

The problem is that I don't think if we raise/shove we get called by a hand worse than ours, and given the pot size and his smallish bet we should call.

The first one is pretty much my thought the problem is the chip he tossed in was actually a 1000 not a 500 which i  found out AFTER i called.  

The 500 were orange and 1000 were peach (or the other way around) and the looked VERY similar.

Your second point doesn't work cause I had already checked.

Oh crap, forgot we're playing this out of position. Still, a 500 bet into a pot of 2,600 to me seems like an easy call getting over 5:1 on our money.

As played the river is just a call.....The only hands calling a push have you beat.

So, he bet $1000 into a $2600 pot initially then what happened? Did he retract the chip or did the dealer intervene?

Ok, just reread and it sounds like your opponent bet 1,000 but the dealer told you it was only 500.

Now it comes down to this:

1. if you lose the hand, does your opponent complain that you owe him 500 more and you complain that the dealer told you it was only 500?

2. if you win the hand, does your opponent try to get out of paying you the 500 you didn't put in? And do you complain that by calling you agreed to pay whatever he bet

oy vey what a mess!

p.s. I freaking hate when they have consecutive denominations that are so close in color. Just asking for trouble.

I had this problem in a big way playing at the Canada Cup so I verbally declared all my bets.

Good thing too as I accidentally threw in too much of a bet one time.

I called and he turned over AJ he didn't question the fact that I had only called 500. Som one on the other side of the table is the one that mentioned it was actually 1000 and the opponent didn't say anything so I kept my mouth shut.

So was he given 500 change or did you collect the 1K chip?

And then busted a hand or two after I moved to your table, sick!  

Speaking of sick, this cold is still kicking my ass, so haven't had a chance to go through all the footage and put it together, but before the end of the week, I'm slowly getting better

It was actually the first hand.  I didn't want to have to listen to the non-stop stream of shit that comes out of your mouth so I went into double up or go home mode!
