    Hi Sighcall,

    I think you have to bet much bigger on flop, maybe like 3.60. He seems fishy to limp and then call £0.80 more and can have so many connectors like 67,68,45,46, that you need to protect from. The flush draw is also out there too. The turn is a pretty ugly card for you but i would bet big again as there is still a ton of hands you can get value from. As played I probably check river and assess his sizing. If he bets pot I probably call, if he bets 60-70% i probably fold as it is more likely to be for value than a bluff. If he bets half pot I call too as price is too good. Obviously this is without any reads.

    Apologies, completely misread the size of the pot. However, I would be tempted to check river and turn my hand into a bluff catcher. Either that or bet very small as a blocker bet and fold to raise.

    You don't want him to fold when you bet

    River depends on villain, prob c/f readless

    Ok no i dont mean i want him to fold just saying not like i priced him in or anything. Makes me puke to fold on the river but as you say its probably for the best....
