Problem is you have no information, a bet of 5 into a pot like that seems like a blocking bet. You could probably muscle him out of a flush draw and a straight draw here. I don't think he is overly strong but repping the 5 will be difficult. I would check behind personally, you need to bet about PSB to shake him off I think, and I don't want to risk it with little info!

Im lost between "okay" and "totally horrible" on my flop call here. This hand is annoying me.

No. he's got calling station numbers and he's firing 1/2 pot into 2 people.. he could easily have any 2 pair.. a set.. straight.. or a horribly played overpair. Most of these guys don't bet draws like that.

Yeah I gues this hand is pretty standard really. I think that in future Im just going to fold this flop, I cant see why I floated here it doesnt make sense.

Anyway I figured he was just trying to steal (obv not a very smart conclusion) so I lead out for $15 and he called (???) river was a 7 so board is

6 5 7 5 7

And he pushes, so I obv fold.

Results: <font color="#FFFFFF">He told me he had TT. I dont believe him. I told him I folded a 5 on the river. He DID believe me. Lollers.</font>

HU If you've got the implied odds on him paying off I'd nearly always raise it up. If you hit great, but if not drop it as fast as you would a chick with crabs. As is a call.

If a nine peels off that turn you're golden and have his stack even a four and you're usually going to pick at up least another call on the turn. In anycase I think you get paid or split more offen than enough to make it worth it in the long run. As it is you nearly always see the villan with some random conected [censored] that's picked up a pair or two.

Ama,

It looks like hes probably going into shutdown mode here, if he calls you have outs, and he will fold a lot of better hands. Checking behind here is also an option. Hes giving you free odds to draw to beat him. Im probably gonna check here more than bet, but thats just me. Remember you can bluff a lof of flushy rivers.

PS i dont really see much wrong with preflop, or really the flop

This is true, but the problem is that to an observant player, I haven't really represented anything. If a player did this to you, would you fold? I probably wouldnt fold an overpair here, I'd just be like "lol as if you called preflop with a 5". I think that villains most likely range for me is exactly what I have, a draw.
