I really didn't give him credit and thought he'd give up on the river vs. me as most likely an unknown to him.

Thoughts?

fold to his raise on the flop

Re: Weird hand v choppy stars 1k
 

kind of a strange spot for him to c/r flop so i can understand the dilemma, but thats a really nasty turn card (aside from giving us heart draw)

Re: Weird hand v choppy stars 1k
 

Fold preflop.

As played fold to flop raise.

I don't like the turn call I don't think you get value on the river enough to make it profitable/he gives up and we don't improve.

the PF limp is 100% fine

Re: Weird hand v choppy stars 1k
 

I hate bet/call on the flop. If you think people might play at you, check flop back. Otherwise, bet/fold

I dont understand why in the world we bet the flop
I dont understand why in the world we bet/call the flop
The turn is probably pretty close

As a whole i dont like it at all

Re: Weird hand v choppy stars 1k
 

I agree with limping being fine here, but i'm not sure about betting out the flop or calling the raise. You seem unsure and readless so i either c/f or hope to peel.

Fold to the flop raise and probably fold the turn.
