Really bad.

I have a question for you. What is your goal when you flop 55 on a 2 5 9 board?

[sweet wicking action]

to stack a player who will go broke with TP.

[Ansky]

Ok. Think about your line compared with what you just said.

[absoludicrous]

I gotta lead this turn every time or make a small raise on the flop.

[sweet wicking action]

i see what you're saying. i suppose i meant to ask how i could have extracted more chips here. i'm guessing the answer will be, push the river? or donk the turn?

[Ansky]

Think simpler.

looks like the situation was noone had much or nothin but overson the flop but someone fired a little bet. turn check check check. paint on river is nice when u catch the guy with top pr. leading on the river should been no brainer, obviously. Looks like solid poker, just remeber how u checked last time and work it into ur next bettig strategy. Gl

lead the flop? assume that someone with top pair will either call or raise? build a big pot early? this is fun for me. i dont usually feel so stupid.
