Poor river play?

Opponent seem pretty loose, and generally passive except for heads up when he seems to be a bit more agressive.

I need to start posting more, I feel lost with heads up situations and I miss the flop. Feel free to rip my play to bits [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Appreciate the feedback

I'm folding to the river donk, but raising is way worse than calling; BB only calls/raises if he beats you, I doubt the BB ever folds a better hand (and probably checks the weaker made hands that plan on calling).

Given your read of loose-passive, and given that you've shown aggression on every street, I don't think the BB donk-bluffs a three-flush/straight/over river very often.

Why did you raise the river?

I'm also folding that river

the pot is smallish and the opponent donked into your aggressive play so far

Thanks for the input, I agree I think my river play was awfull and was kicking myself after. I tried to bluff the scary board, but should have just folded to river donk bet.

Is the play up to the river fine? I figure with overcards, and flush draw that the agression is justified?

PF is good. Flop is a clear-cut equity raise. You have a lot of fold equity on the turn, so a bet is fine.

You know it's okay to take a free card sometimes.

Fold to the river donk.

id take the free card i think. it looks like he has a crappy pair. if he is loose then he is definately calling. fold the river.

Just fold to the first river bet. You have nothing but ace high.
