Somehow iv lucked my bankroll up over the past few days to 1 in which i can compete at nl50 played a couple of hours so far and it seems to be ok lots of rocks. This hand stood out for the obvious reason that i lost.
Pretty sure player is a reg and thought he was a nit up til this hand... thoughts on my line fwiw i thought i was chopping on the turn so trying to keep it small and was unsure of a back door flush on the river but felt i had to call. Any thoughts on my line welcome can we ever fold this? Unsure of how i am precieved by villian we have generally been staying out of each others way but i have been 3betting the most on the table but have probably only check raised maybe twice in the last 90mins on this table neither getting to showdown

probabaly should lead turn for value but you don't wanna get blown off ya hand
I mean what do ya raise flop and check turn with, surprised oppo didn't extract more from you
oppo probs thought u had a set
i dont see anything you're beating. i dont even think you're splitting here very often as most nl50 regs wont be betting the dummy end of the straight on that river.
Seriously nl50 regs only betting river with a 6 and not an ace.
Should we never call to split.
On the river i didnt think that there were many 6's still in villians range except 66. Thought maybe he thought i was playing a set or similar and he had the ace and got excited on the turn when they hit the str8 and was trying to push me off of the pot and we were likely to be splitting. Clearly i was wrong i excpet that but how do we recognise the signs.
Regarding regs v recreational players at nl50 at the point this hand occured i had played around 3 hours at nl50 on 2 tables so was going off of my reads from the tables i was at and what i have been reading in the general poker chat section of the forum which i sure you will agree has had a few posts recently from people complaining about the number of nits.
the best way to do it would have been a on flop you should have did the £10 bet, then on the turn do another £10 bet if he raised then you fold but if he called then just do a check on river and fold to any bets.
doing it this way i can see a lot more putting you on 56s than A5o as for the river whe you check you have gave enough info to them from the flop and turn that you had a straight so bluffing is not the right thing to do by the villian and they would not want to bet if they had Aso therefore anyone with sence would only have one option a straight which is 6 or 7 high.
its a combination of being a nit and being shown the backdoor flush/6 a vast majority of the time in these spots.
the current priority freeroll only has 44 players so in general i dont think there is a great reliance on rakeback on this site. as i write this there are 3k+ players online so as a % thats ~1.5%.
if you look at nl50 regs on that list there isnt really anyone i would doubt as a winning player.
there is more than one way to skin a cat
