I don't like a limp pf - with 2 limpers i think you need to raise it up to ~t100. Also, if you limp you need to bet closer to the 3/4 or pot on the flop. Also i'd even bet the turn, as well for like 140ish. As played tho I think it's close, but you're probably gonna have to learn to fold hands like this? anyone else agree?

I don't really see what betting the turn does since he'll fold most hands we beat and never fold a hand that beats us, plus it gives him a chance to cr with a naked spade or air or AT that he thinks is good and then we have to fold. I think its a lot better to allow him the chance to bluff or check it down. As for the river what's he have there that beats me? for the most part its 66, 44, flush. He has the chance to bet his busted draws, his air, his random Ax and random lower 2 pair, all of which are possible. Doesn't seem like a clear river fold to me.

I think PF is fine. You could have raised if you felt like you needed to, but limping is fine also. I bet more on the flop, though. Probably 80-100. Check turn, call river imo. Basically I think you played it about as well as you could.

This is a 6.50. I have only played a few but most unkowns here suck. The guy would prob call a decent sized turn bet with ax or a medium spade. I say bet this turn for value everytime. Also folding this river as the hand was played seems insane to me.
