Villain is very straightforward. He limps in every pot, value bets/raises with monsters, calls small bets with bottom pairs and A high. It looks like he's a total beginner.

I don't get the turn bet, they can't both have K's, someone is sure to bet this turn. I like a check here.

I don't like seeing the second diamond and bet. What is the benefit of the check - are you looking to C/R?

Why don't you like seeing the second diamond?

[Dan Bitel]

FLOP, I don't give much respect to a bet and raise that together don't come to the size of the pot. On the flop I put UTG+1 on a small pair 33 or 44 maybe a 5, I put CO on either a five a mid pair or weak king.

TURN, I hit my boat, I'm hoping the 'beginner' has a five and can't stop betting his under boat. I don't want a pocket pair to fold though so I'm not stealing the initiative just yet.

RIVER, I bet for value he can still have a pocket pair, any 5, A5 would be nice [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img], I do not assume this is a split and I think that a 'beginner' may well have a weaker hand he will call a pot sized bet with.

you're not losing much if any value by checking river.
