A5s... this is totally standard right?
 

Obviously I am calling this river 100% even though I was almost positive MP had 77, maybe it's just because I've been running into a lot of monsters lately. I am most concerned about the flop where if I just fold I get away from the hand and none of this ever happens.

I would normally just fold preflop but CO was a huge fish and I was quite confident my ace was good if I got heads up with him.

Everything seems standard here.. including pf and flop. If he has 77, you gotta pay him off.

Re: A5s... this is totally standard right?
 

pf is fine. Flop i usually b/f or c/f these spots. c/c we dont really know where we stand and we go into the turn where we most likely will c/f to a reasonable bet. I dunno c/c just seems like we are really wanting to get to SD cheap (which we'd def like to) but w/ 2 streets left playin OOP and probably multihanded it most likely won't happen. Plus c/c seems weak and makes it easyer for villians to bluff us off such a marginal hand...but i suck at playin marginal hands in nonraised pots.

so standard imo

Re: A5s... this is totally standard right?
 

i cant lay this hand down ever, unless im against a majorly tight player but as u said villain is a total fish. got to shove

sorry just read through again co was the fish... im still calling here tho, who can lay down fh here??

Re: A5s... this is totally standard right?
 

I'd bet less on the river, full pot looks extremely strong and he will probably not pay this bet off with an ace and there are no draws on the flop that you could have.

Re: A5s... this is totally standard right?
 

I would bet slightly less on the river, something like 30, you'll get looked up more lightly.
Looks good.
