Default Re: 5/10 NL top two pair on raggedy board that keeps getting worse

I'll defend my preflop play briefly. We are headsup, though I am out of position, I play better than my opponent. This makes up for some of the weakness of the cards, (which really aren't that weak like 35% equity vs a normal calling range + Reasonable pair, hidden monster value ) Secondly he has to defend his blinds very loosely for me not to show an instaprofit preflop. I'm risking 25 to win 15. He needs to defend in the 40% range for me not to make money raising any two cards assuming I can breakeven, show a slight profit postflop.

To use this strategy it requires lots of checking when they do call. To combat this you have to check some monsters along with medium strength and weak hands.

The combination of factors makes this hand a raise preflop and the flop a c/r.
