Do I need to just not play this hand until I know my table? That seems so weak though...

Looks good.

If villain had bet more on the turn I'd consider folding there.

wtf?

You have to call that river bet because of your flop bet size.

so you're saying, it's likely enough that he's 3-barrelling me because I pussy-bet the flop? yeah... I just didn't expect like 5 cold-callers when I opened, so then I wasn't really sure how to play the rest of the hand. Which is why I posted.

When he raised, I was thinking maybe he's getting jiggy with AT or something (which unfortunately now I'm losing to), and maybe I'll get to see a free showdown after calling the turn. Probably bad thinking, I know...

I like a bet of 35 much more on the flop. River seems tough could go either way... leaning towards fold; yes the pot odds are good but there is not too much you are beating.

I dont see what you are possibly beating here, only hand could be A10, which you got rivered by. I would try to avoid raising with this hand until you get a better read on your opponents. He's giving you 3.5-1 on the turn and 3-1 on the river so you have to call, but I definintly think you are beat.

PF is whatever I guess, but raising to 3xBB from EMP is asking for lots of callers.

You're beat on the river for sure, so the fold is fine there. Because your flop bet was so weak, you had to spend extra $ on the flop and turn to find out you weren't good for sure.

yeah, i think i probably wasn't even thinking about the pot size when i typed in my bet. duh.

well, i got pwned because after i nearly timed out before folding, he showed 67o for a complete bluff.

and he turned out to be like 40/23/9 as time went on.

fold or raise more pf, fold being preffered. check flop or bet more, check being preffered. as played i don't mind the riv fold at all, although the turn call is questionable, i think i would fold right there.
