I think I push against this retard.

Hm. That's not very aggressive. Have we ever seen him make overbets post-flop before? I'm tempted to push, but there's not a whole lot he could call us with that we'd beat aside from a lot of trip 7s.

I don't remember seeing him make an overbet like this before, at least against me. He seemed to be your typical loose semi passive donk, and the overbet took me by surprise.

This is a typical line for a donk who hit his draw. Unless he has shown strong signs of tricky play earlier, I'd call (because he could turn up with some random 7 here that he wanted to check-raise on the turn), but expecting to see A5 or, a bit more likely, 65. I think pushing is no use here; he's not folding anything you don't beat, and he's not calling with anything you do beat.

Fold pre, probably call river, it might be close but i think people overbet the river a lot when their slowplay goes wrong.

Folding pre is standard in most cases, but against players like this I try to isolate them in pots postflop and take advantage of them.

I do to, i just think that A5o is a bit loose to do it with, it's marginal though as i'm fine with raising A5s here.

Fair enough. I guess it depends on the tightness of the players behind for whats the optimal percentage of hands to be doing this with. Don't have the numbers offhand lol

It's a pretty standard raise on the button at low stakes when someone limps. You want to isolate the limper here usually when on the button.

Whoops, when I made the initial reply I thought I made that raise from the CO. Yeah unless the limper is known to do this with decent aces, I'm pretty much raising everytime from the button.

This guy isnt folding a 7 imo with those stats.

That raise pf is pretty bad, flop bet is too small. On river I just call, I think villain has 56ss a lot of the time here, mixed in with 7x.

We didn't bet the flop very hard and we checked the turn. IMHO, gutterballs from thin air are delicious. He may be doing this with trips, in which case we should take all his mobneys. He may have a full house, in which case, he'll snap call our push and take ours. That's teh pokah.
