      PREFLOP
      I think my hand is good enough to defend. Too good to 3bet bluff.

      FLOP
      I expect him to cbet a lot on this flop so my plan was to c/call.

      TURN
      Donk bet for value.

      RIVER
      Value betting again.
      His raise got me thinking:
      - He is probably cbetting FD/sets/OPs on the flop.
      - He is repping 55 mostly.
      Very strange line. With top 2 I opted to call in cases he has some weird Qx 2-pair.

      Hi.

      Preflop: Hmm very often I would just 3b this, not for value/bluff but to isolate the fish/weak reg and also because it's tough to play from the SB with a call when BB can either squeeze or call, making your life hard. Calling can't be too bad though.

      River: I guess he's representing a hand which beats you but you block flushes with Q and I don't think he has 55 too often. Maybe he has Q5/J5/75 which you beat and you do have a pretty strong hand so I think it's fine to call here.
