50NL set on somewhat scary board

[Milky]

Villain is 40/6/2.5 after 40 or so hands. Do you play this any different?

I think you played it well. This can easily be 2-pair or an overpair. I think the call on the river is fine particularly because you checked 2 streets. Bad luck on the suckout i suppose.

I think this was played well also. But it would really depend on any non-stats based reads I had on the villian. If I thought that he might slow play a big hand I would probably take the same line as you. But those bets look really weak. On the river I would probably check-raise. Any thoughts on this? Is that too dangerous?

nh. Turn call is +EV for you even if you know he's flushed with your odds on filling up on the river.

His turn/river bet sizing is interesting. Good to note for later I suppose if it turns out he didn't want you folding.

pfr is standard I think... I raise 77+ from the blinds and complete with the rest.

I like it, you could also bet/fold turn if you like as an alternative. With the way you played it though, I believe you keep villain's range wide enough where a call can be profitable, especially with the odds hes giving you. The only thing that is questionable is the river. You have to ask yourself if you think villain is going to fire on the turn and river of a 4 straight/3 flush board without either one of those.

RESULTS: villain had 88 and I cried a little.

[You're No Daisy]

I doubt this is an over pair since villain limped. I'm thinking AT-JT or a smaller PP. The weak bet on the turn suggests he didn't like the 3rd heart. However, I have seen some villains make a 1/4 PSB when they hit their flush, so as played I think you played it quite well. You' really only worried about 78 or a flush as TT is probably raising here. And I think your turn and river check/call may have given villain the idea his top pair is good.
