[Paul Thomson]

Villain is 20/16 over a small sample size.

The 8 sucks on the river...

Repop flop. As played repop turn. As played I guess a fold on the river is fine.

yeah, i kinda think raising flop is good cause of hte size of his bet. but i also think he might 3-bet with the straight draw and or 66, but i still think it's probably best. the stack sizes are a little awkward. the donk lead through me off a bit.

do u raise the turn and fold to a push?

[2Paul2]

I think it looks fine. There aren't that many draws and there's just about no worse hands that call a raise. You only beat KT on the river but he has a boat/9T/Jx like always when he bets that much so fold looks good.

bump for day crowd

[killphilNI]

I like it.

Is 1/2P cbet standard for player/table/site btw? I might consider raising flop and checking behind if called.

[HoldEmNewby]

looks fine as we're toast by river. I usually raise this flop though.

20/16 is donking? i think we missed some value from a draw here

[loosbastard]

Is it just me or does this look like 66 or (less likely) QJ?

I might raise this flop because of his bet size, but I think the way you played it looks ok as well. Easy fold on the river...I think he's bluffing just about never here.
