49/5 and very fishy?

Wouldn't a donk check behind here if they missed more often than not?

You only have to be correct 1/3 times however. I do think a check/call on the river is the best line, possibily a blocking bet, but a check gives an opportunity for this kind of bluff. Only problem with a check here is if he pushes or bets anymore than 1/2 pot you have a real decision here.

KoRnholio will become famous soon enough
He may be superbly loose, but what kind of hands will this guy cold-call a 4xBB raise in early position with? Unless this guy is a total donk, the only hand we're beating here is KQs/AKs. I suspect that he's slowplaying something big after his calls of your big flop and turn bets.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a set or some wierd 2 pair here.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

I dunno, you're risking a lot of money to pick off a busted draw. If that's what he had, vnh, but I think I'm folding to this river bet.

Got a post-flop read?

What range does he call the flop + turn with?

If he's loose post-flop too I like it.

I'm new to NL, is it standard to raise 99 4x BB from EP there?

What hand range do you generally raise from EP?

Not really, but I should have mentioned that he insta-called the flop and turn bets, which often signifies a draw.

*shrug* well it's something. I'm more interested if he's a folder or chaser type post-flop. Is he the kinda guy that's giving insta-profit by being loose pre-flop and weak/tight post-flop or is he going to pay off way too much?
