Hello,

Do you think the hand was played correctly?

Would you have called the river or play the hand in a different way?

Villain was a reg. He used to limp quite a lot pre and I think he could have had anything. The size on the river looked pretty value betty to me though. If he thinks I have a 3x, I think he would have bet bigger to chase me away.

Not big fan of leading flop. It has benefit of protection and denying equity but at the same time you tend to isolate yourself versus tighter range than by x-c line. That is big issue when we might face flop raise or play two more street out of position. Turn is kind of bad as 56 gets there and A5 also. Though in general I would assume A5 to be open shoving pre but might be in his range. Also if he has balanced limp range he will have overpairs and 4x also possible.

So ultimately I dont like turn spot. Maybe too weak to fold turn but then we come into question how often we have to call river as well? If we were good on turn then its likely nothing changed by river outside of some T♠:X:spade: combos. But yeah size does look value heavy. Problem with this sort of thinking is that we do get good pot odds and villain is getting good price for his potential bluff. So 1360 to call for pot of 6100 meaning we need to be good bit over 20% of time. So in general I would say we want to call most of time on this river card if we call turn.
