board looks so dry and safe i think your line is perfect. The only thing I might do is rr-shove the turn while closing my eyes and hope when I open them I don't see QT or something dumb like 76. other than those two hands i think you're fine - you might see 77 or 66 too but on a board like this i dont think you can lay your hand down, especially to that opponent.

This looks fine because this player is so loose, although I am slightly worried by the turn check-raise, but I think a player this loose PF will do this with KQ/QJ as well as alot more bluffs than a tighter player. If they were 30 or less/15/2 over a good number of hands then folding would be correct.

I think we can actually lay this down after the turn checkraise. At this level getting raised on the turn means one pair is no good. He then shoves the river which could be a bluff, but i just dont think so.

Why does pf looseness indicate postflop madness? Imo it should be obvious to villain that hero might hold a good Q but still he doesn't care. I don't know anything about .05$ games but I wouldn't call the river at 25NL. Looks like a strange slowplay or an unusual holding that got lucky.

I think you can fold on the turn, while yeah he is very loose, he is not that aggro post flop. It looks like your beaten on the turn

Because being this loose preflop indicates that villain doesn't have a clue that calling preflop to hit top pair weak kicker is a very bad idea and therefore he thinks nearly every top pair is a great hand, and so he plays it like a great hand.

Or he calls because any hand can flop a fh, trips etc. we don't know. But pushing QJ on that board doesn't follow from pf-looseness, that behaviour is possible but we have no evidence that it's given here. Loose players don't always play TP like the nuts.
I doubt you can reason someone will always go broke with TP3K just because he's loose pf ...

Hmm... that river push is pretty strong. It looks like he turned 2 pair or set. I probably fold. Think he could play a space draw this way?

TP doesnt seem good here, he isnt shoving a busted draw, board seems like the kind of cards hed call with. I say he has 2pair atleast.

72ftw.
