This is really dumb

Here's another one I found:

http://www.lowlimitholdem.com/StartingHands_2.htm

I'll repost the hand here:

For some reason it's 12 handed. Hero is dealt red aces. Four people limp and Hero raises. a player folds, LMP 3-bets, two callers, button caps, blinds call, everyone calls.

11 to the flop for 44 SB. Flop is Th 2h 6d.

Checked to hero who checks. LMP bets, two callers, button raises. Everyone calls, Hero 3-bets, calls, button caps, everyone calls

11 to the turn for 44 BB. Turn is Qc.

Checked to you, you bet, everybody calls.

11 to the river for 55 BB.

7d.

SB bets, two calls, three people vanish (??), hero calls, a fold, two people vanish (??), button raises. Everyone calls.

The website says that calling the first bet on the river was the mistake. Despite getting 57 to 1. And STILL having an overpair to the board. And lack of resistance on the turn. And people suddenly disappearing on the river is disconcerting too.

Unbelievable. The line they gave was perfect. I can't believe they are using this as an example to fold on the river for one bet in a huge pot.
