River: ($44) 5

I wanted to isolate on the flop, turn is scary and there isn't much left behind. River looks like a straight up value bet, I'm thinking AJ, maybe 66 more than the flush. Any thoughts on this hand cuz it seems kinda bad?

hand 1: fold. You don't really have any draw because if he has you beat you're straight won't be any good.

hand 2: i wouldn't push, i'd raise to 16.

hand 3: good fold.

In hand 1, what does villain re-raise with that beats us here? TT, ATs, 99. All those are kinda unlikely 3 betting hands at 50NL. I also see his 3 bet is small, so he may not be a solid player.
I am inclined to pay off this guy if he has been real aggressive since he sat at the table. I think he may be overplaying AA or KK here.

Absent those reads, I would likely fold.

Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

Genitruc is an unknown quantity at this point

hand 1 : pooooooooooosh (if he flopped a set good for him he's prob an idiot "slowplaying" an overpair with a big club)

hand 2 : fine

hand 3 : Why isolate on the flop? What does this accomplish? (there may be something obvious I'm missing but it seems to me you set yourself up to win a small one or lose a big one here...)

when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

I think the problem is that almost any genuine hand that check-raises you on the river beats you - a set, a flush, (a ten or J8/68 are pretty unlikely given the PFR).

Hmm, as I type that, I realise that a nervous overpair (fits with the PFR) might well choose to play this way - they didn't like the flop so they checked, then they think you're either c-betting or have a flush draw, they don't think it's likely you have a ten. It's ugly but it's certainly possible - the overbet could indicate they're scared of the texture rather than holding a monster.

Amazing how many times you can change you mind when studying a hand history
