Blind-steal situation. 57s

[Donkey Kong]

Still doing a review on my buddy's hands. This time he raises first in OTB with 57s. According to him villain is the only thinking player at the table. Stats at about 25/10/2.

<font color="blue"> What do you think of his flop play? Sexy 3-bang or spewage?</font>

dont bet the turn.

as played dont check the river.

an interesting battle.

I'm not sure about the turn bet, it depends on how likely you thought the player was going to fold. In this case because the BB capped the flop betting I would take the free card.

*grunch*

I would personally not try to steal with 57s.

If villain is the only thinking player at the table 3-betting this flop is probably spew. Given BB's cap the turn bet is spew in my opinion.

I might be weak but I think this is not the hand to play aggressive. The pot is small and the hand is vulnerable to say the least.
