Villain is a reg nit.  Posts on the forum often so might reply here hopefully.  Hes been saying in the chat box how many BIs down he is, how my stack is 'his money' cos some random had been sucking out on him etc.  Villain also views me as a massive spew donk, told me that various times on the site etc.  What I cant understand is why play 65ss like that.  In fact why play it at all if you are just gonna flat flat flat.  Like only reason i can think of is villain is playing with scared money and would hate his life getting in 250bbs and losing.

    Now im not going to comment on the villans play here. Nor will i comment on any play really.

    I have one question which may actually improve my game more than anything. Why check the river? To what i can see theres only 3 cards in the deck that can beat you, bar 45ss, so is your opponent the kind of person that would call down for a backdoor flush. UNless say AxxKs without a 3 bet pre ?

    I'm sorry Scotty, that play is just unexplainable. The villain may as well give up poker! I hope he/she isn't playing to make a living!

    i dont like raising flop at all, unless you are prepared to barrel off 200bbs vs a 'spew donk' when you miss.

    unsure of whether to bet the river, you basically always have the best hand assuming hes 3betting AQ/AK pre. but your 3barrel looks like AKs so much itself and the best hand he can have is A9s that check is prob best.  although id prob bet like quarter pot and call a raise

    He didn't play it terribly, he just hit a bad river.
