5NL - huge overbet on the river

[Extremophile]

Villian is 49/5 over 41 hands. Seems like an obvious fold. Comments?

If you aren't sure what to do with this river, why open A7s UTG? I'd lean toward calling, depending upon how stoopid I've seen this 50/5 behave.

Fold pre. Save A7s for CO and BTN until you're more confident postflop.

You should have really really really really good reads to call this. The price is just so godawful & is the nuts soso much.

O crap - I read this as .60, not 6.60 - what dozer said, sorry.

OK I admit that A7s is a marginal hand for UTG raise, but I can hardly resist the temptation to play it from CO. Thanks for the comments.
