The hand ended up continuing to a showdown, so I'll post the river later and then the showdown after that.

Any info on the player?

It all depends on how good you think your pair of 5's are. We can't determine what he has because we havent played against him. Let's say you are behind to TP.

You are getting around 2/1 odds to hit your straight,flush 2 pair, trips. and getting 2/1 pot odds.

I would raise him all if I think this player was the type to overplay his top pair or maybe even tricky with his flush draw?

If he is on an overpair, then you lose 3 outs if your 6 hits.

If I think he has hit big, like a set of T's then I would fold because of no implied odds and because a load of your outs are dead giving you a 2.5/1 to hit your OESD+FD

You see, it depends on what you think he is most likely to hold. We could do this with game thoery but it's way too early for me to be doing that, I have just woke up.


As for mistakes, I don't think you made any except the limp in MP is a bit loose, but that can be put down to table image or how loose/tight the table is.

Villain (2) knows how to play, but leaks a bit with draws and drawing hands... he's played 64 suited because he could limp in on the SB before. My read is he's a decent player that'll see a flop with just about anything if he can do it cheap. He bets his draws/made hands/bluffs about the same, but he will defend against an obvious draw by betting enough to sour pot odds (unless he has a piece of that draw, in which case he lets weaker draws stay in the pot with him)... Just your average player.

Table in general is semi-loose... no one is a maniac, but starting hand reqs seem more geared towards 6 or 7 handed play.

Pretty easy call and effective stacks are so short that you can comfortably call/raise any bet on the river if you make a stronger hand. + with pos you might get a free showdown if you fail to improve and he is on air with overs and fails to fire the last barrel.

After leaving himself with $30 and sticking $55 in the turn, I would think he will go all in if you just call for the river. I doubt there will be a free showdown.

You're mis-reading it. He still has 55 in his stack. He bet 30.

Oh Right, that changes everything then. I'd call most of the time and raise a few times to mix my game up.
