Ugh, this looks spewy.

You are almost never getting a hand that beats you to fold to the turn raise and you aren't getting called too often by a hand you beat.

I call flop and re-evaluate on turn, as played fold turn, I think villian has a hand like 76.

Yeah. How often do you think villain is on a draw, given that he bet the turn instead of taking the free card?

Too early, your hand is overplayed when you reraise the flop. I'd call the flop raise and perhaps call a turn and river, 7 is not a good card, neither is a 6. You can fold those two card if they hit the turn otherwise there should be value in calling the turn and playing the river.

you checked pre-flop so he might have everything.

I dont like the re-raise on the flop and i think i would insta-fold this turn.

There is no need to push all-in this early with such a hand.

Another question:

Why didnt you raise pre-flop?

A5 isn't a hand that I particularly like to play strong pf oop against a random opponent. I guess I did overplay it. The reason I raised the flop was because the flop was so drawy.

I think it is too early to determine if your villain is capable of those plays. Most of my opponents seem to save those plays for later (small sample).

I peel one off on the turn and wait for a better spot ui.

i kinda liked it.
first time reading it i was like wtf complete spew idiot

but i think it's ok, from my experiences villain would just push the flop with most better hands and this really looks like a draw. only a few hands out drew you (67 and 7xdd) and he didn't bet the turn hard like i believe he would if he had improved to two pair/etc.

it's not ideal but it's not that bad either

Until you know they're raising most decent aces and not limping every hand, you'll be dominated a lot when you're calling, 2nd hand I check A5 usually. People limp more preflop in the 6-22s than in the higher games, so their limping range is stronger, more preferable to check with A5.

I think this is a huge part of villian's range the way this was played, though, and I don't think villian is ever folding 76 or 7dXd.
