Hi,

What should be the optimal game play here? (Just moved to nl5)

P.. Standart open, when Im facing isolation, I 4bet because Im oop, but when Im facing 5bet I put him on very strong range, but against heads up I think it is ok to call, don't wan't to shove here...to tight to fold I would say...
F....Pretty scary board, so I want to play safe so I check/call his cbet...Was thinking he might have a set, so I don't like to invest lot in this situation.
T...I check to him to see what he will do, I might fold to a 2 barrel, but after he check behind, I think set would be unlike, or he is just trying to induce...But looks weak....at least for me....
r.....So after river is a blank... Im actualy don't know what to do here, If I check to him, it might look weak and I would induce a bet, which I don't know if I can call, so thinking of betting, could bet smaller like 3$ maybe, but I don't want to face a raise, so I just shove instead.... :)

Hello,

I would prefer to call the 3bet and not 4bet here.
Once we face a 5bet, I would certainly fold. I don't think he ever 4bets worse here.

Flop is pretty borderline as at the very best scenario we are splitting so I would prefer to fold.

Turn check is fine.

Shoving river is pretty bad. We certainly don't do it for value here, as there are no weaker hands that would call, and people on these stakes have trouble folding hands like AA/AK in this spot, so I don't think we can make him fold anything either.
I would check here and fold against a bet.

Best,
Plamen
