Default 50NL Turned Straight

Villain is 30/10/infinite over 30 or so hands and we have some history together. We had been in a few battles recently where I got the best of him (once by sucking out and hitting top pair on the river).

That said, what do you think of this hand? Is my pf call bad? Comments on all streets welcome

I fold preflop. If we were deeper and villian was a tad more aggressive preflop I might think differently, but what can we really flop that kills this guy? As played, you're clearly ahead, but he might have a combo flush draw to try and draw out on you.

Yep, fold PF. Otherwise, looks okay.

Side note: I thought this was going to be a thread about a gay poker site.

Fold PF is much better, but as played this is fine. Sorry if he had AJ

Figured it was a bad call pf, and I paid for it... of course villain flips over AJ and I lose.

This is something I have been trying to understand for a while

to everyone saying fold preflop, since villain only has a pfr of 10, we should reasonably expect him to have a big hand. And if he does have a big hand, 10js is the kind of hand that we want to crack it. So shouldnt we at least see a flop?

I understand this line of thinking, and I will usually play these hands in position against a villain with a PFR of 10-15% or less. Position is huge as I don't want to be drawing OOP. A big factor is also villain cbet% - if he doesnt' do it, I'll play these hands more often.
