Haven't been on table long. Villain hasn't done anything redonkulous or been rocky.

PF: With dead money from the CO already in there, I make it 5x. I play as if I were on the CO. Okay, gotta call his min-raise...

Flop: Cool, I got a pair! That's the nuts! He min-bets... hmm... alright. I'm okay with keeping it cheap and seeing what he does on the turn. (Maybe shoulda raised and found out if against overpair right here?)

Turn: He bets small again so now I'm thinking it's becoming very likely he has overcards ot 55 or something. I plan to bet-fold almost any river card.

Riv: And so I bet...

FPS? Better line?

Any particular hand you think that's worse than yours will call? Or better than yours that will fold?

No reason to bet the river.

55 or A-high maybe... but I see your point. Good one at that. If I was unpaired, then the river bet makes more sense since it would be to bluff him off some hands. I didn't think too much in the hand other than "he seems weak, I'll bet him off the hand on the river EZ" - gotta start thinking more about some of these plays

Talk to me about the flop and turn though?

PF I have my doubts even with CO dead money it does not change our position and his cards.

i almost always raise these idiots bets big here. We know where we are then. if he calls ( and they will with AK ) play it like you did.

The lead ( blocking bet ) on river is cool. can also be a bit lower.
