    Default Playin' da $5nl!

    Villain is 66/10 over about 20 hands..

    Villain was sort of short so I didn't think raising his donk lead was a good idea since he could ship it back with worse and make me fold so I decided to peel one off and see if he's willing to 2-barrel. I figure my outs could be good - though I imagine they are probably discounted a fair amount since he will have Qx in his range and also a K or an A to go along with hands like KJ/AJ.

    I didn't think about folding at the time, though maybe this is a clear fold.

    I didn't raise the turn because...I guess I wanted to keep him firing with all the junk in his range instead of shutting down and only continuing when I'm beat.

    His bet sizing is pretty retarded and I'm guessing he's got a ton of weak shit in his range like Tx or Jx or even Ax - though alot of these hands will have caught a 2 pair by now.

    Do you guys think raising the river here is too thin? I didn't really consider folding given the odds.

    For a raise to make sense there have to be some hands in his range for leading three streets that are worse than TPTK and will also call a raise. What are these hands?

    Well I can't think of any either unless he's horrendous. You're getting ridiculous odds so I don't think you can fold without more information so it's a clear call. Make a note whatever he has.

    If you raise on the river what worse hands will call, maybe something like Ax or Jx, all the hands that beat you will stay in 2 pair straight etc etc.
    As played call the river your getting 4.7:1 you don't need to win that often to make a it a good call, overall I think you played it well overall.
