Not something I do very often. Opponent seems very loose and aggro (bad). I didn't bet the flop because of my bad experiences doing this OOP against this type of player in a blind battle.

Seat 1: ACESONTAP ( $50.15 USD )
Seat 2: akihirok ( $209.19 USD )
Seat 4: TRXXO ( $100 USD )
Seat 5: flushkoenig ( $63.79 USD )
Seat 6: HERO ( $113.05 USD )
Seat 3: noboman2000 ( $51.56 USD )
HERO posts small blind [$0.50 USD].
ACESONTAP posts big blind [$1 USD].
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to HERO [ Jc As ]
akihirok folds
noboman2000 folds
flushkoenig folds
HERO raises [$3.50 USD]
ACESONTAP calls [$3 USD]
** Dealing Flop ** [ Tc, 2c, Td ]
HERO checks
ACESONTAP checks
** Dealing Turn ** [ 3s ]
HERO checks
ACESONTAP checks
** Dealing River ** [ 5d ]
HERO checks
ACESONTAP bets [$8 USD]
HERO calls [$8 USD]


EDIT: Converter is f****d so I'm posting the raw HH

Read dependent.
Board sure doesn't look to have hit him, but depending upon how loose villain is, he may wake up with a suited 5 here.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

 it could be 64 or A4, or a boat. This is where thin vbetting gets u fucked because if he does this with 3x or 5x ur screwed. Normally low stakers dont thin vbet so this may be good.

if he is really that bad, he hit this board often enough to make this an easy fold

This isn't really true. Low stakes players constantly make thin value bets, they just don't see it that way. Their thinking is usually something like "I have a pair that I think is good, therefore I should bet." They don't recognize that a bet in these situations rarely carries much expectation, and therefore don't view them as "thin."

I would probably call this river as well. His line makes no sense, you get to see his cards, and show that you won't be bluffed, which should tend to make your opponents inclined to play straightforwardly against you, which is fairly easy to play against.

So very true.

Genitruc is an unknown quantity at this point
 I snap-call hand 1 just for info, expecting the call to be barely -EV.
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
