SB: $99.09 (198.2 bb)
Hero (BB): $69.13 (138.3 bb)
UTG: $51.94 (103.9 bb)
MP: $49.25 (98.5 bb)
CO: $61.99 (124 bb)
BTN: $52.05 (104.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5♥: 5♦:
3 folds, BTN raises to $1.25, SB folds, Hero calls $0.75

Flop: ($2.75) K♠: 5♣: A♠: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $1.36, Hero calls $1.36

Turn: ($5.47) J♦: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $3.54, Hero calls $3.54

River: ($12.55) 6♣: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $45.90 and is all-in, Hero folds

Preflop: Standard call BB vs BTN. BTN plays 24/16 in 39 hands.

Flop: I will not have alot hands to raise in my range on this kind of board, so decided to check/call. Snowie also thinks we should check/call. On the other hand, I think I can raise because I don't represent alot of value hands and he should put me on a flushdraw, thus call with all Ax.

Turn: Decided to check/call again. Snowie agrees. BTN could have TP, two pairs, gutshots, flushdraws, but also AA and KK. If I raise at that point, probably everything besides gutshots and some top pairs and flushdraws is calling.

River: Planned to check/call again, but then he shoves. Not sure what he could have there. Without info, I don't think I can put him on busted flushdraw which is trying to push me off TP. Snowie thinks we should call, but I think that in reality he doesn't have enough bluffs. I would say he has AA-KK and QT always and is trying to get max value vs two pairs.

Here's my best advice ever. In fact, it might be the only sensible advice I have ever given. All my previous posts may be rubbish. Not so this one.

Tell Snowie to fuck off. Use your own brain, and use it well.

I'd say that just about every line is better (including folding preflop) than the line you actually took. If you don't dare gambling with a monster, you can't win at poker. You just don't have the pure nuts often enough.

Man, you were more confident not so long ago.. ..
Why do you call preflop if you are not to raise somewhere along the way?

Raise flop should be okay vs pretty much unknown, but I like calling as well in this spot, especially vs aggro opponents. Turn x/r would be awful. River is fold, in this spot hand like KQ (without Qs) would be better bluff catch hand than 55.
