PokerStars Zoom, Hold'em No Limit - $0.02/$0.05 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $3.60 (72 bb)
MP: $6.48 (130 bb)
CO: $9.92 (198 bb)
BU: $6.07 (121 bb)
SB (Hero): $5.35 (107 bb)
BB: $5.46 (109 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.07) Hero is SB with 6 A
4 players fold, Hero raises to $0.15, BB calls $0.10

Flop: ($0.30) 5 7 A (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $0.15, Hero calls $0.15

Turn: ($0.60) A (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $0.29, Hero raises to $1.06, BB raises to $2.41, Hero raises to $5.05 (all-in), BB calls $2.64


This was probably a stupid shove because the villain can easily have better A or 55, 77.
Would be a correct play calling turn and hoping for the x/x on the river?

I like to bet 100% of my range on this flop, there are still many weaker hands that can call, draws, middle pairs, bottom pairs. As played why not just check call the turn and let him bluff? You are only beat by very strong hands but he can easily bluff you here so why not just check call turn, check call river, as played. The thing with raise is, what weaker hands will call? none, right? and vs A2-A4 you split anyway.

i agree with taavi, but i think c/c on flop also makes sense with weak toppair sometime oop.

The turn is just overplayed. Just c/c here again.

Check/call turn would be the standard play after check calling the flop. Most of the time I would Cbet on all streets and her-evaluate on further action.
