Spoiler

$1.57 pot ($0.05 rake)
Final Board: 6 5 4 2 4
Hero mucked 9 9 and lost (-$0.78 net)
BB showed 5 5 and won $1.52 ($0.74 net)

Pre-flop - Standard raise here. Villain is a fish with 51/7 over 43 hands
Flop - With a lead bet i put villain on some pair or two pair. So i elect to raise for value before any scare cards. Maybe a bigger raise.
Turn - Think i was still thinking i'm good here most of the time, thinking villain still on a pair most of the time. Didn't put villain on a draw alot with a lead bet. So i value bet again.
River - with 2 calls and a card which doesn't help. I can't see villain calling me with worse holdings than a pair. So I check.

I'd prefer to just call this flop. You have a weak overpair and fish donks pot on you on a board that rarely hits only 1p range. So call flop and re-evaluate turn, but raising here is total speww.

Hi Don,

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: That's a rather large donk on the flop so it polarizes villains range slightly. Are you planning to raise/call or raise/fold?

I think that going broke on the flop would be a mistake so I would raise fold.

As played the turn bet is very thin and versus a fish we can get some value from 7x, 6x, 77-88 and a rare backdoor flush. So I don't mind your bet and then check river back.

It's a raise/fold on flop.
I wanted to raise, as it makes my life easier.
Ok. so say if i called flop, and he bet 2/3 pot on turn, same board, what would I do? Just call again?

Do you expect a passive fish to bet turn into you for 2/3 pots with a weaker hand? If yes then we call again but I would say that against a fish we can fold the turn as well.
